Does someone have the *right* to put one of your IP addresses as an NS record for their domain even if you do not agree? Registrar policies imply that this is so, and has been this way for a long time.Once upon a time, registrar/er policies did NOT allow this. NSI used to have "GUARDIAN" which controlled who could register domain names listing name servers with your IP addresses. Unfortunately, NSI never completely implemented guardian; and it pretty much completely disappeared after the trademark lawyers took over.
IIRC, Guardian was fully implemented. Guardian was a method of authentication objects that used pgp to prevent people from modifying objects, and from seeing attributes that were marked private. I have 0 recollection of the object classes, but I remember I had used Guardian extensively on some domains. I'm thinking 97'ish. As far as nameserver modifications for name servers, these were never acked IIRC. As long as you had a valid Netsol handle, you were all set. It was domains that required acks and that was so you had to pay the bill at your hoster or ISP before you moved your services. -M<
