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.
Well, since the domain has no name service, it's clearly dead. My inclination would be to send in an update template with Joe Blow's address in the From: line, documenting in the comments what you're doing. Deleting the domain seems appropriate, but as a lesser measure you could identify new servers 10.255.255.255 and 10.255.255.254 named ns1.lamedelegation.net and ns2.lamedelegation.net. -- John R.
