And how much are you willing to pay for a domain? > I don't disagree with any of this. In fact, this could be a very powerful economic boycott which is why I thought about it. I am only pointing our the administrative difficulties. How would you suggest the query mechanism works? I Most whois servers impose some sort of volume limitation; Many are extremely slow. Therefor, this probably warrants a RHSBL with the registrar in the text record. In turn, that requires getting a listing of all domains registered by a listed registrar. How do you keep up with transfers? If someone can figure out the mechanics, I have a volunteer (working on her MBA) who is great at crafting policy. I also have the mirrors and structure. I am willing to add the zone. My first listing would be Gandi. -- Our DNSRBL - Eliminate Spam at the Source: http://www.TQMcube.com Don't Subsidize Criminals: http://boulderpledge.org
