I would wholeheartedly support locking out the server directive if
I was given one of these two methods:
authenticate yourself by telneting into internic.net at the whois
prompt. From there, I could then issue a query for all domains
that list my server's NIC handles.
So, in my case, I'm MNO5. I could then query for anything that
MNO5 is either:
o a contact
o a dns server attached to my contact
I could even live with the request being done live and then e-mailed
to me.
I would _really_ love a way to lame delegate my stuff via password
login as well in a batch fashion.
I'm wondering if part of the problem is they're changing DB systems,
and don't have the appropriate macros installed yet.
