"4. Not all records in the zone file are valid domains. Some do not have a WHOIS record and may act as honeypots to catch people distributing and using zone files without permission." It has been a while since I looked at the com zone file access ageement but as I recall the most substantial restriction was on redistribution. A wee bit of web searching shows there are still plenty of non-official sources selling zone files. Perhaps it's just me but sometimes I think the number is increasing. Are the honeypots designed to catch these sellers and stop them from selling? Does Verisign enforce the ZFA agreement? Maybe all Verisign can do is revoke the access of the licensee who breached their agreement?
