I'm not certain that the hostname anecdotes are terribly relevant to the operation of north american networks.
Perhaps the discussion could be more well suited in big internet?
It might be useful for NANOG to discuss what involvement NANOG and ISPs ought to have with these schemes. o Should, for example, NANOG agree that ISPs ought not provide secondary name service for this sort of activity? o Should NANOG agree that some sorts of domain name speculation are good grounds to terminate a customer? o Should NANOG decide that some other organization ought to address these issues? (What ever happen to FARNET?) - ISOC? - IETF? - The courts? - The Internic? o Should NANOG stick to purely technical issues? -tjs
