I am saying you can use whatever IP you want for a nameserver when registering a domain via the InterNIC and they will not trying to figure out if you are authorized to use it. The InterNIC will list that nameserver in the DNS for that domain, will add a glue record for the nameserver, and will create a host record. You can't have multiple host records for one IP, though. > This does not seem to be logical.

Of course it is logical. How do you propose to magically detect if someone is using an address they shouldn't? You don't gain anything from doing it because you can't actually use that IP for anything. > We have virtual domains here and they have logical reason, but not > someone using reseved (assigned) address is not ethical. Ethics have nothing to do with it.
