Re: Broken domain statistics...

Additionally there is a problem where the InterNIC refuses to remove DNS
entries even when the DNS site requests it.  For example:

# whois cyberpromo.com
Cyber Promotions, Inc (CYBERPROMO-DOM)
   8001 Castor Avenue  Suite #127
   Philadelphia, PA 19152
   US
   Domain Name: CYBERPROMO.COM
   Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Zone Contact:
      Wallace, Sanford  (SW1708)  domreg () CYBERPROMO COM
      215-628-9780
   Billing Contact:
      Wallace, Sanford  (SW1708)  domreg () CYBERPROMO COM
      215-628-9780

   NS5.CYBERPROMO.COM           205.199.212.50
   NS8.CYBERPROMO.COM           207.120.46.30
   NS9.CYBERPROMO.COM           209.40.15.21

# whois 205.199.2.0

AGIS/Net99 (NETBLK-NET99-BLK4)
   3601 Pelham
   Dearborn, MI 48124
   Netname: NET99-BLK4
   Netblock: 205.198.0.0 - 205.199.255.0
   Maintainer: AGIS

# whois 207.120.46.0 
New Mellenium Cafe (NETBLK-NEW-MEL) NEW-MEL       207.120.46.0 -
207.120.46.63

Both AGIS and New Millenium would glady have the entries dropped if they
could.  Particularly since New Millenium is not able to use the
207.120.46.30 to date due to anti-spam attacks :-(
