IO apears to have nameservers operated by Afilias, CommunityDNS, OneWorld DNS

$ for ns in $(dig +short io. IN NS | sort); do
ip=$(dig +short ${ns} IN A);
rev=$(host ${ip} | awk -Fpointer '{print $2}');
echo -n "= $ns = $ip = $rev = ";
whois -h whois.ripe.net ${ip} | awk -F: '/^descr:/ && !/RIPE/ {print $2}';
done

= a0.nic.io. = 65.22.160.17 = a0.nic.payu. = Afilias NS087 A0

= ns-a2.io. = 194.0.2.1 = ns-a2.io. = ICB plc Anycast (via Community DNS AS42909)
= ns-a3.io. = 74.116.178.1 = b3-1.oneworlddns.net. = Community DNS
= ns-a4.io. = 74.116.179.1 = b4-1.oneworlddns.net. = Community DNS

It looks like a couple of the CommunityDNS nameservers are carrying a different version of the zone than the others:

dkmpb:~ dknight$ dig -4 +nss io.

And they're giving bad responses
