Additionally there is a problem where the InterNIC refuses to remove DNS entries even when the DNS site requests it. For example: # whois cyberpromo.com Cyber Promotions, Inc (CYBERPROMO-DOM) 8001 Castor Avenue Suite #127 Philadelphia, PA 19152 US Domain Name: CYBERPROMO.COM Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Zone Contact: Wallace, Sanford (SW1708) domreg@CYBERPROMO.COM 215-628-9780 Billing Contact: Wallace, Sanford (SW1708) domreg@CYBERPROMO.COM 215-628-9780 Record last updated on 24-Jan-97.

Particularly since New Millenium is not able to use the 207.120.46.30 to date due to anti-spam attacks :-( On Thu, 12 Feb 1998, Phillip Vandry wrote:

I agree that the Internic should check nameservers before putting up a domain, even though it's more resource intensive. In addition to controlling speculators, it might just prevent or at least detect honest mistakes.
The CA-Domain registration authority used to do this but I don't think they do it anymore.
While they're at it, I should be able to NAK a registration or domain modification so that it is cancelled if I don't want it on my nameservers.
