RE: Reverse Lookup using IP Address in EPP?
I would like to back off a bit to talk about the problems before jumping on solutions. Specifically, I have two questions to the list: The first question has to do with 1 IP address. Suppose company X has created a host object fake.x.foo using IP address 1.2.3.4, which is NOT the IP address that X is allocated to use. This host object is NOT being used as a nameserver for x.foo. Now company Y, who has the IP address, is trying to create a host object real.y.foo. - If the 1 IP address policy is imposed, then the creation of real.y.foo will be rejected. Company Y wants to find out why this is the case. The question is how. - If no such policy is in place, how can the registry prevent IP address hijacking from company X (intentionally or un-intentionally)? The second question has to do with whois. Since not all host objects are nameservers, they are not necessarily associated with registered domains. Are those non-NS host objects also stored in the whois database? Your comments are much appreciated. --Hong
