I have to agree with Larry. You need to have public access to the database...
it's a double edged sword. I *would* let Network Solutions know about this
geek, since said geek seems to be attempting to leverage the NetSol name
for his own financial gain.

That's right!
Cool. Initiate a DoS attack on your own web server.

I just noticed on the last catalog I got from Dell in the mail, that they
are walking the Database too. Because it is addressed to a fantasy name
I used for one of my domains.

Makes you wonder if the guy who was going to sell the CD's of the
whois database might have had some of them make it to market, either
before or after they shut down. Didn't NetSol say they took measures
to keep people from sequentially mining the database?

There are other folks selling that database also, but they
aren't quite as blatant about it.

They said they did. I haven't tried mining it to check.
