It looks fishy though.

Forgot the existance of whois. Do not use it regularly :(
That seems to be a Hosting-Provider in the US, though it's website seems unreachable (neither a IP for codero.net nor www.codero.net is found) at their DNS-Server. But codero.com is available. $ traceroute 68.168.98.196 14 xe-1-0-0.mpr3.phx2.us.above.net (64.125.27.97) 160.416 ms 159.162 ms 159.997 ms 15 64.125.192.194.t00738-01.above.net (64.125.192.194) 159.161 ms 159.800 ms 162.699 ms 16 edge2_cr1.phx.codero.com (216.55.184.106) 161.887 ms 163.486 ms 164.611 ms Unable to look up 69.64.66.26: Temporary failure in name resolution 17 69.64.66.26 165.099 ms 164.472 ms 166.402 ms 18 68-168-98-196.dedicated.codero.net (68.168.98.196 That means (looking at codero.com), that the fishy-"DNS" in question seems to be a dedicated server hosted at codero.com/.net.
But one small question remains. I get a DNS from my ISP. My ISP is in Indonesia so I would expect to get a DNS closer home. Or am I wrong there?
Brouerius, your provider's DNS are these (assuming you use your provider's e-mail to mail here): $ dig ns indo.net.id [..] ;; ANSWER SECTION: indo.net.id. 21149 IN NS ns2.indo.net.id. indo.net.id. 21149 IN NS ns1.indo.net.id. indo.net.id. 21149 IN NS ns1.cbn.net.id. indo.net.id. 21149 IN NS ns2.cbn.net.id. indo.net.id. 21149 IN NS ns1.id $ for h in ns2.indo.net.id ns1.indo.net.id ns1.cbn.net.id ns2.cbn.neid ns1.id ; do nslookup $h | grep -A1 Name ; done Name: ns2.indo.net.id Address: 202.159.33.2 Name: ns1.indo.net.id Address: 202.159.32.2 Name: ns1.cbn.net.id Address: 202.158.20.1 Name: ns2.cbn.net.id Address: 202.158.40.1 Name: ns1.id Address: 202.155.30.227 Yes.
