Six domains adopted kirklanddc.com as their DNS provider. cc1eaner.com, ketaabonline.com, topcinema.cloud, mobillegends.net, kino‑v‑online.tv and rarbgmirror.com (the lead case) now point to kirklanddc.com instead of their prior providers, which were koaladns.com for five of them and magpiedns.com for rarbgmirror.com.

Four movements involved brainydns.com. betplace.us and watchseries1.fun now resolve to brainydns.com after departing koaladns.com and kirklanddc.com respectively. At the same time, cfeucdn.com and vihuxi.xyz left brainydns.com for koaladns.com, as indicated by their refreshed NS entries.

The pattern across the twelve‑hour period shows koaladns.com acting as a central hub, both receiving and shedding zones to the other two providers. Each change is recorded in the DNS delegation chain and can be verified with a standard NS lookup.
