Re: more Internic nightmare

Yes, this can be circumvented, but it would cost a lot more than the $70 for a domain registration. In addition, the whois server would know exactly who is mining the data and would be able to track them, even if they spread it out over months.

i suspect they know who the slime are already. the patterns must be rather clear. the problem is legally enforcable prevention or punisment which does not also impact legitimate use. e.g. folk railed against the current license-only access to zone files. but, imiho, it is better than the old-boys policy which preceeded it, which was better than the previous wide open policy. what is a good solution? randy
