In recent weeks the InterNIC has been spammed repeatedly with tens of thousands of requests by domain name speculators attempting to registerWhat can be down about domainbrokers.com? Have a look at the files at http://www.domainbrokers.com/asp/. I just tried to register a domain for a customer, and found that it had been registered the day before by domainbrokers.com. I believe they have no intention to use the domain name. All they hope to do is sell it, probably for $1000. They appear to have setup no DNS records other than NS records for it. Companies like this that piss in the domain name registration pool should be banned from registering domains.
One step would be to prioritize domains which correspond to physical networks. If an organization is actually connected to the network they can get one prioritized registration for the domain name for their network. In the event of a conflict a domain registration for an actual network would take precedence to a psuedo-domain having only MX records and pointing to a web server on a provider's network. Dial accounts would not qualify since they are not permanently connected. There would still be conflicts, but this might make domain name speculation a thing of the past. Curtis
