I didn't look for it. The prober didn't progress beyond the initial
TCP handshake.

I haven't retried the experiment since the initial investigation.
However, there wasn't anything special about it: I did it from a
standard hosting company VPS machine (after clearing it with them

Google index. You could just download the .com zone and achieve much
the same effect I'm sure.
