Does anyone know how to get meaningful host reports (they call them Domain Status Reports now) from verisign? It used to be that you could enter either a contact handle or a host handle, and get every domain that's attached to them. But now they have changed things so that as soon as a domain is moved into their "account" sytem (where you have a username/pass to do changes, instead of the old contact handle way), those domains no longer appear in any reports. I really need to get a list of all the domains that are pointing to my nameserver for to make delete a host record, but without knowing which domains to change, this is getting difficult. It took several calls to Verisign/NSI to even get anyone who knew what these reports are, when I finally did, the rep's exact words were "the domain status report system is pretty buggy". -- Kevin
Personally I gave up on Verisign back between '96-'98 when I tried to get my contact info off domains I no longer had anything to do with... To this day (over 4 years) I believe some of these domains still have my contact info on them... Jeremy
What we do is download the TLD zone records and do searches on them. The setup process isn't quick, but once you are set up its basically painless. The guys at www.verisign-grs.com are leagues better than NSI support -- this was affirmed for me just a few weeks ago.
