You're kidding, right? It becomes a matter of disservice when I stop/start a nameserver so we can add "im-cool-i-have-my-own-domain-now-what-do-i-do-with-it.com". It flushes the caches and causes dns lookups for our clients to take longer, not to mention the fact that it increases traffic on the global net. If every isp/nsp did this, the entire cacheing function of DNS would be moot. Noone would have a live cache. When someone signs up for hosting services with us, they are not told "your zone entry will be live in our servers before I hit the send button on your domain app." They wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about to begin with. Secondly, until the app is processed, my servers AREN'T authoritative for the domain. More than once, I have sent in a registration for a domain that was available in whois only to have it rejected. Some other person beat me to the punch by a few minutes and the domain was awarded to them.
