Think you are special? Wonder how The B&N (can't even spell it now after
looking at the variants they registered) book sellers must feel.
Try:
WHOIS SERVER NS42656-HST
To see some of what these folks have registered.
Sadly that will only return 256 entries. The Internic claims to have not
given out the entire DNS database since March. Anyone know otherwise, or
how to quickly get WHOIS to return more than 256 entries on a
WHOIS SERVER request?
