The title says it all . Just try to visit anything.google and see if it redirects you to 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

Does this work for me alone or what because I just installed an apache2 server on my Lubuntu?

And if it doesn't can you find any information about this domain name, I just accidentally discovered it.

EDIT: output of nslookup as requested :

m.google
Server: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: m.google
Address: 127.0.53.53

This response is a special service from ICANN. It’s about namespace collisions between internal networks and the internet.

Why this particular warning comes up for .google, I don’t know. As far as I know, a .google TLD has not been announced, yet it is listed in the list of known TLDs. Of course, if it’s an active TLD, you’ll simply get a NXDOMAIN, domain not found.

So yes, this also happens for me and probably just about everyone else.
