They have quite a lot of domain name customers who don't know enough to buy domain names from a real registry. Might be worth adding 213.146.149.160 to my mail server's bogon list, since they aren't being polite enough to run a mail rejection agent on it.

Re: The return of the wildcard domain...
I saw this evening that CentralNic had added *.uk.com to point to itself. Why should anyone care? It's just one of ten million dot-com domains. So will ICANN act on this? Of course not. CentralNIC also runs the uk.com, us.com, eu.com and de.com domains. Well, OK, they run four out of ten million dot-coms. This is not a big deal. It's not even a little deal. R's, John

Perhaps the original poster is thinking of .co.uk? BTW: I have a * on a couple of my personal domains. I seriously doubt ICANN cares about them either. And if they do, I don't. I paid for it, so I get to do what I like with it. -- TTFN, patrick

So I guess the question to us all is: how will this affect our networks as a whole? Or will it at all? Or is it already? Will it at all? --srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
