[registrars] Verisign ownes every name that does not exist-millions for free!

[Mike Lampson]

Port 80 at IP address 64.94.110.11 appears to be unresponsive at the moment.
Maybe that's a good sign that VeriSign is having second thoughts ...

I do notice that, besides registered domains without nameservers, any domain
put on HOLD status is also resolving to the above IP address.  This implies
that if a court order demands that a domain name be disabled to protect the
other IP (Intellectual Property), the domain will now start resolving to
VeriSign.  Likewise, all domains in REDEMPTIONPERIOD status are also
resolving to VeriSign.

The ppc company is overture.com, it's very easy to see by looking at the
outgoing URL.
