.app, .dev, .prod, and .zip all had substantial volume of problematic traffic that was discovered during the Controlled Interruption period (which occurs prior to launch and consists of a wildcard DNS entry placed on the entire TLD). You would not believe some of the brokenness that was happening there. .zip may need some explanation -- apparently there are lots of library API calls out there that take a path string as input and try to load it as either a local or remote file. You can see where this is going.
