mcast.net

mcast.net is a second level domain reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and maintained by Verisign used to bind DNS records unique to multicast addressing.[1] The domain and its subdomains are not associated with any web site.

In 2011 it was proposed to make it flow into the domain .arpa without having found success.[2]
