8/25    What's the best way to get a domain name that is about to expire?
        \_ It's called backordering.  It used to be fixed priced but now
           they're trying to auction them.  Still a good deal though.

7/9     is godaddy still the place for domain names? anything cheaper?
        \_ I use <DEAD>nearlyfreespeech.net<DEAD> since they're really awesome. It's worth
           paying for a decent registrar. Also, I use Sitelutions for the DNS for
           the domain, since it lets you have an enormous amount of control over
           your domain's DNS.

        Is there any anecdotal evidence of people getting their google

        own me completely.

4/9     dig txt http://domain.com only returns one TXT record even though domain

        actually DOES show more than one.  how come it doesn't work with

9/7     Dear Linux DNS experts, how do you find out if a domain has
