the fault of the default
https://web.archive.org/web/20160410172437/http://fusion.net/story/287592/internet-mapping-glitch-kansas-farm/
a sad story all cs people shall read before code

similarly at starlink, who is moving their error-prone dns domain

pop.starlinkisp.net
origin = dns31.cloudns.net
mail addr = isp\.abuse.spacex.com
serial = 2025061904
refresh = 7200
retry = 1800
expire = 1209600
minimum = 3600

to

isp.starlink.com
origin = ns1-35.azuregov-dns.us
mail addr = azuredns-hostmaster.microsoft.com
serial = 1
refresh = 3600
retry = 300
expire = 2419200
minimum = 300

but the serial (number) is obviously default. @Nathan Owens alerted
already. hope it fixed
