I parse the zone files to strip out the domain names, and insert them into a
database. I believe the counts are accurate, although I have not done a
manual count!
The zone files contain only domain names which are not "on hold", and which
have at least one name server assigned, and are not a good indication of the
total number of domain names registered.
