Actually, I don't like this "solution" to the problem. First of all, not only does the InterNIC have to keep track of all the contact handles but, so do we, the domain owners. Now that we have no way of listing more than 10 records in whois (Thanks NetSOL... No, really. Thanks. .!..) if you happen to lose the contact information for a domain, you're screwed. You won't know who which contact to send any modifications from. Well, so much for that argument. They have changed their policy again. The whois now lists more than 10 records again. (Thanks NetSOL... No, really. Thanks. .!..) They have taken the following away from us though: root@Overkill primary]# whois "server NS17904-HST" [rs.internic.net] No match for server "NS17904-HST". It worked a week ago, now, it doesn't. The simple fact is that NetSOL is out of control. They seem to have the notion that they OWN the database. They are stewards of the database, not the owners. Until the community as a whole expresses their outrage of NSIs heavy-handed actions towards the community, they are going to continue down this path. BTW: Where did ds.internic.net go? How about ftp.internic.net? I'll tell you... [root@Overkill primary]# host ftp.internic.net ftp.internic.net is a nickname for ftp.ds.internic.net ftp.ds.internic.net is a nickname for shutdown.ds.internic.net shutdown.ds.internic.net has address 198.49.45.29 [root@Overkill primary]# traceroute ftp.internic.net traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 209.41.244.2 @ eth0 traceroute to shutdown.ds.internic.net (198.49.45.29), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 Border-Core0-Fast-eth1.Columbus.EnterZone.Net (209.41.244.1) 4.276 ms 66.212 ms 1.805 ms 2 core1-eth0-ENTERZONE.Columbus.fnsi.net (209.115.127.21) 29.598 ms 12.102 ms 0.998 ms 3 core1-eth0-ENTERZONE.Columbus.fnsi.net (209.115.127.21) 0.995 ms !H * 1.188 ms !H It's time to drop a clue-bomb on VA.

Simple. Set up one of your domains to map admin.*@example.com to admin.contact () enterzone net, billing.*@example.com to billing-contact, etc. and just send the e-mail to register foobar.com FROM the fictitious admin contact of, say, admin.foobar.com () example com. If InterNIC wants to be anal-retentive, let their Contacts database get full, too. And sure you can say "that's abuse, and you shouldn't condone it", but if you think that the speculators aren't going to turn to this very same procedure, you need to lay off the crack pipe.
