> I agree with rocqua that the Registrar needs to have a more active role in securing DNS. I think we need new standards of control between domain owners, registrars, DNS TLDs, and certificate authorities. There are registrars that do take a more active role in securing dns, but they usually charge a bit more. A surprising many companies and even government departments will compare two dns registrars exclusively on the price, and if one cost $10 annually and the other registrar cost $29 then they will pick the $10 version. What they might not be aware is that $9 out of the price is the registry fee, so what they are really comparing is the service that you get from $1 margin vs $20.
