Re: Microsoft Registered Domains

Michael,

I agree, I should have RE-CHECKED the domains before I sent the
message to the list.  I've learned.  

However, the facts still stand.  InterNIC registered the domains to
the Microsoft nameservers, without having to clear it.  That concerns
me.

What if I registered a domain against your nameservers and then
advertised it?  What would your nameservers do with the lame delegations?
I've had lame delegations really mess up my DNS servers.  They spend all
their time asking the top-level servers, who just point back to them.
