I just went through my records and I have these entries for dyn, oss, 
and parody.  I just added the records to pirate so they should be 
showing up shortly.  Each domain has a single A-record pointing to 
127.0.0.1.

I know this has been discussed before, but we should probably write it 
up as a policy requiring every opennic TLD admin ensure they have these 
records in place.  It seems like a good policy to follow.
