Once upon a time, registrar/er policies did NOT allow this. NSI used to
have "GUARDIAN" which controlled who could register domain names
listing name servers with your IP addresses. Unfortunately, NSI never
completely implemented guardian; and it pretty much completely
disappeared after the trademark lawyers took over.
