2002 CVS version control tag frozen in live DNS for 24 years
;; QUESTION SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
118801.co.uk. 3600 IN TXT "$Id: kcom.com,v2 17/07/2002 08:47:07 mhealey Exp $"
What Happened
This TXT record contains an RCS/CVS keyword expansion string: `$Id: kcom.com,v2 17/07/2002 08:47:07 mhealey Exp $`. A developer named "mhealey" committed a DNS zone file to a code repository on 17 July 2002. The version control system automatically injected that `$Id$` metadata string before it was pushed to the DNS servers. It has been sitting there, completely untouched, for over 24 years. This is the oldest artefact we have found in the .co.uk zone.
