Yes, I was merely noting that if the registry yanked our company's main domain name, we'd only lose 2 out of 4 name servers for the things that our DNS servers do that are probably more important than the company itself. I think this is the definitive argument for not removing stuff from the DNS lightly, is that the consequences are incalculable because there is no way to tell what domains have name servers in this domain query (or even the less complete queries - tell me what name servers are in this domain - or what domains this name server serves). As such any director of a registry should be asking their insurers exactly how bad it could be if they accidently yanked a domain name that had important name servers in (say something obscure like co.id), versus what sort of liability might be incurred by providing a domain someone else is choosing to serve illegal content under. I suspect the answers are "lots" v "none". _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
