Tons of people have used our domain name servers without permission. Of course, we don't set up a domain name without compensation... Dirk On Wed, Feb 11, 1998 at 06:42:49PM -0700, Michael K. Sanders wrote:

Either that, or something else is broken.An alternate interpretation might be that 17% (or some portion thereof) of the domains in .COM are held by domain speculators who have no intention of paying for them and can't be bothered to provide DNS for them.I'm posting here because I feel it is an operational issue; that, plus I feel there're more folks here who can and will hammer at InterNIC to start doing something to enforce their policies that require real, authoritative nameservers.If nothing else, it might deter casual domain speculators. God forbid they actually have to configure something before they can register a domain... No doubt someone would just automate the process, though.
