I have found that most of the common mis-spellings of our domain name have been registered with the Internic by a company named Americaoffline.
Yup. They've been busy registering dropped-letter variants of many folks. All the zones I've looked at are merely wildcard A records, not purposeful hosts. I was sorely disappointed that http://www.americaoffline.com/ contains no references to malicous nor humourous stuff. Personally, I was hoping for large-scale lampooning. Nothing at the real provider's home base, INSTANET.COM, reveals anything of interest. Some kook thinking he can auction off typo domains? Joe
