Just out of interest - do the top level DNSs look at the entire address or is Greenland's main internet supplier going to melt under the load of redirecting everything to Google?

My guess is that Greenland can handle the load just fine. :)

The country has a population of 50,000 I don't know how good their connectivity is but I'm guessing Google has quite a few more users than that.

Hopefully the ISP's DNS caches goo.gl and doesn't just send it all to root .gl to handle!
