And a great module it is!
At this moment, in fact, I am running a perl script which uses
Net::ParseWhois which checks our parked domains to see which ones are no
longer using our nameservers. Just looks up the domains, writes out the
domains and their nameservers to a tab-separated file. I could see how you
could get much more complex and write out to a database, run a script
through cron to see who has moved away, etc.
Great module, highly recommended. Thanks Abraham!
