And most of the domains never have working name servers at all. The internic rules say you're supposed to have name service first. This isn't always practical, but if speculative domains don't have DNS within a few days, I'd think that'd be enough to wipe the allocations. Actually, at this point I'd be happy to supply a credit card or a funded InterNIC account number along with applications. Money up front may well be the only way to clobber speculators. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie [email protected] Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranthnetworks.com
