Just had a thought. It appears that authoritative domains that don't exist
where they should get an added nameserver inserted into their domain record
name service record by network solutions. Here's an example:
lhrasso.com The guy who owned this died in 1997, his
domain was paid till 2001. The ISP
hosting it didn't get paid so they yanked the DNS
info. Now lhrasso.com delegates authority to something
that has no information on it, hence lame delegation
Network solutions adds the lame delegation server to its list of nameservers.
NOW, miami-ea.com which is an active domain in use points its secondary
name server to one of lhrassco.com nameserver, which doesn't exist anymore.
So miami-ea.com gets a lame-delegation server added to its name servers even
though it is active.
Now for the fun part, trying to figure out exactly what events trigger the
deletion of a domain that has been expired. Does anyone know what this might
be? I will agree with anyone though that Verisign is a great example of the
big corporation running things like a big corporation. Makes you wonder if
their books are cooked too?!?
