[H-GEN] Strange DNS/ Ips

I was trying to resolve isbandia.humbug.org.au the other day (in nslookup
to see if that mound of papers had been processed), and came across
something strange.

Somehow, my request got passed to a strange dyndns service, and suddenly
my name was aliased to isbandia.humbug.org.au.ml.org
(I can't give greater clarification than somehow although this is
critical)

At first I thought it was some strange humbug mirror dns, but later upon
playing with resolving, I found it to be some form of dyndns, encompassing
anything.  eg. I tried ffkdsakf.fdsakkda.kskskd.dfkdsa.au.ml.org, and it
resolved to the same address over and over.

What I was curious about was how my request got passed and resolved to
that? 

Later,
