Well, there is no way to get a list of domains recently registered by
using whois alone. Chances are they are using the actual zone files,
doing a diff against them, getting a list of newly added domains, and
then doing specific queries on just those domains.
I don't see that there is anything that can be done about this, it's
not illegal.
