I believe this is why they cut off public access. The NIC was
flooded with requests for domains that had just been deleted.
People were hoping to make a buck. If you have a _legitimate_ need
for zone file access, you will get it. I certainly had no problem
after the NIC figured out their internal policy for granting access.
