It's not entirely clear what your data source is; I guess it's the zone files for the domains currently under InterNIC's administration, yes?
Sorry, I left out an important "What this report is" section. It is the top 100 nameservers serving .com, .net and .org domains.
and I know for a fact that some name servers in other areas would be included in your list if you had analyzed the data.
I'm not quite sure where to *get* that data, though. I started analyzing the zone files to track down domains that claimed our nameservers were authoratative for them, yet I had never heard of. Then I got a whim to start counting them... I've actually had a lot of good feedback on additions to the report and I plan to put it on the web with weekly updates. I've also played around with other statistics on the domains, like: is a nameserver really responding for it? Is the domain just a MX entry? How many www.domain.x are pointing at the same IP addresses? (I'm also intrigued with the number of domains removed from week to week.) -- Rusty Hodge <rusty@hodge.com>, San Francisco
