For one of the reasons why 'Domain Tasting' is a bad thing, see this Slashdot
story:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/08/1920215
To see how it works, follow the four easy steps:
1. Make up a string of random characters
2. Go to a registrar and check if the domain is available. If your string is
random enough, it probably isn't.
3. Go to networksolutions.com and check if the domain is available.
4. Go to the first registrar and check again.
Surprise! It's already registered, by networksolutions.
Please remedy this antisocial behaviour by implementing the following measures:
1. Immediately suspend networksolutions' access to the registry for abusing
their access, until they have agreed to stop their abuse.
2. Implement binding policies for registrars stating they may not use failed
dns lookups or whois lookups for registering names, or their access will be
removed.
3. Remove the registration grace period, as it has no legitimate use and does
allow abuse.
Thanks!
