No, I don't think so. The information would be published in the ISP's TLD-alike domain, not the customer's subdomains. E.g. 'co.uk', not 'mybank.co.uk', assuming the information is "each domain $WORD.co.uk is independent". The values are the same information that you are gathering. The ISP/NIC (Nominet UK for .co.uk) does not need to contact their customers for this: it's a .co.uk policy. > > You've asked for the same thing: for administrators of certain domains > > to provide you with information about independent or related users of > > those subdomains. > > But the two plans are talking about two different sets of admins, one > vastly larger than the other.
