Russ, my numbers are on only what's in the com.zone.gz file only. Yes,
domains like two.com and other parked domains aren't in the zone file,
but are technically active domains. As for who has the correct real
count, I would suspect www.whois.net is probibly correct but one would
have to have access to the whois database to determine that and not just
the zone files.
