http://publicsuffix.org/ appears to be the central site for rules for this sort of lookup behavour ( it actually covers cookies but I think the overlap is there).
.nz doesn't look correct however.
It is correct. The list is in a very unusual format. Our entry is *.nz The interpretation is 1. Registrations (delegated domains) are at the third level - i.e. something.something.nz (that's what the asterisk does, so as a counter example, .nl is just nl without the asterisk) 2. There are no exceptions given so there is never a case where something.nz should be treated as a registration (delegated domain). As an example, if .nz allowed say nic.nz with an A record for it then it would need the exception !nic.nz added. regards Jay

That's registered by Beau, a 'safe pair of hands' who has presented on the dangers of leaving this unregistered at various events. We've offered to take it over from Beau if he ever needs us to. cheers Jay
