Additionally there is a problem where the InterNIC refuses to remove DNS
entries even when the DNS site requests it.  For example:

# whois cyberpromo.com
Cyber Promotions, Inc (CYBERPROMO-DOM)
   8001 Castor Avenue  Suite #127
   Philadelphia, PA 19152
   US
   Domain Name: CYBERPROMO.COM

AGIS/Net99 (NETBLK-NET99-BLK4)
   3601 Pelham

New Mellenium Cafe (NETBLK-NEW-MEL) NEW-MEL       207.120.46.0 -
207.120.46.63

Both AGIS and New Millenium would glady have the entries dropped if they
could.  Particularly since New Millenium is not able to use the
207.120.46.30 to date due to anti-spam attacks :-(
