Do you have an example of a parked domain with no SOA record?
eoileon.com tri-cityhearald.com
Surely for that to work for most of the domains we're talking about, the parking companies would need to be able to insert arbitrary records into zones such as "ORG", "NET" and "COM", which isn't something that any of the registries for those zones permit.
No, they just make up their own COM zone. For example, the nameservers for eoileon.com are: ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: eoileon.com. 145225 IN NS ns1.chestertonholdings.com. eoileon.com. 145225 IN NS ns11.chestertonholdings.com. If I ask one of their auth nameservers about COM I get: $ dig +short @ns1.chestertonholdings.com com soa a.gtld-servers.net. nstld.verisign-grs.com. 2006021701 3600 900 1209600 21600 Which almost looks good, except they didn't get the email about Verisign's serial format change. $ dig +short com soa a.gtld-servers.net. nstld.verisign-grs.com. 1154620024 1800 900 604800 900 Duane W.
