I sent this last week but it seems to have gone to the bit-bucket... Does anyone know of a way to reclaim IPs left registered as hosts by former customers? Let's say Joe Blow moved to another service provider, but he still has ns.joeblow.dom and ns2.joeblow.dom registered using your IP numbers. Netsol gave me this very nice procedure using faxes and followup calls, but I just don't have hours to sit on the phone all day even if my company enjoyed paying the long distance. I would like to see an ISP having equal footing with the domain owner regarding host registrations; that is, the admin contacts and tech contacts OF THE DOMAIN OR OF THE NETBLOCK may delete a host registration. Pros and cons? Or a better forum for this discussion? jcomeau@world.std.com aka John Otis Lene Comeau Home page: http://world.std.com/~jcomeau/ Disclaimer: Don't risk anything of value based on free advice.
