How do you find them all? You could check your DNS logs for lame
delegations and collect a list, but that's not all that great.
I agree that the Internic should check nameservers before putting up a
domain, even though it's more resource intensive. In addition to
controlling speculators, it might just prevent or at least detect
honest mistakes.
The CA-Domain registration authority used to do this but I don't think
they do it anymore.
While they're at it, I should be able to NAK a registration or domain
modification so that it is cancelled if I don't want it on my nameservers.
