Oh, hah. Well that doesn't seem intentionally malicious then.
I added it in the first place as it was a non-resolving .gov in the top 50 list which seemed out of place to me.
> bldrdoc.gov: No address associated with hostname
I see that the time related subdomains in your link do resolve to the nist.gov timeserver.
But I really am wondering what's up with all of the rest of these domains.
Googling it, one of the results was https://library.bldrdoc.gov/ , for Boulder Labs Library.
More googling gave me https://www.boulder.doc.gov
> Boulder is the home of scientific laboratories for the U. S. Department of Commerce’s NOAA, NIST and NTIA. Clustered on the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder Colorado, these labs are the home of scientific research and engineering in the fields of electromagnetics, materials reliability, optoelectronics, quantum electronics and physics, time and frequency, earth systems, weather and telecommunications.
Looks like a place full of scientific knowledge. I hope they haven't suffered much DOGEing.
