If I want to register 1000 names, and only have 100 connections to deal with, then I will rotate those 1000 names through my 100 connections. Fine. As the "Registered in last 24 hours" shows up, I'll remove that domain from the list. If I want to register 100 names, and only have 100 connections to deal with, then I will probably just hammer, one name per connection, until the domain is registered. Here's the key, when you have less then 100 names to register, you won't stop using all 100 connections. If you only have 50 names left, you'll still use 100 connections, two per domain name (Or whatever ratio you want, depending on if some names are more important to you) If you have only one domain left, you'll probably still hammer all 100 connections with registration attempts against that domain name, because it increases your odds. As a result, there is still an effectively infinite amount of hammering until each and every domain on the list has been registered (Either successfully, or by another party) -- The nice thing about standards, there is enough for everyone to have their own.
