In that case, Elliot, register us as one reseller who wants to opt out. Again: we do *not* want you to change the name servers on any of our customers' domains, under any circumstances, period. We don't want an auction service, we don't want a 404 page, we don't want a "contact your reseller" page, or anything else you've got planned. Let us make that choice, and leave our domain names alone. How much more plainly can I put it?
You don't have to go to ISPCON to talk to your resellers. There are several right here on this list who are unhappy, want to opt out, or have expressed ethical concerns. If you want to do something reseller-friendly, start listening to us again. There hasn't been much of that lately. -- Alex Bulan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Operations Manager Korax Inc.
