Hilarious! Someone's having fun... I ran Yahoo.com at network-tools.com and just got the plain vanilla registration. I guess you have a more thorough whois source.

These are just people's subdomains. See how they all end with another domain name? eg canadian.org and safesearch.com ? These are the actual domains that need to be registered, once you have registered that you are the owner of that domain and you can add any subdomain you want The reason the OpenSRS site brings up all these domains is not because they are related to the yahoo.com domain but because they contain the search string "yahoo.com". OpenSRS's site searches all the domains in their database for the string you put in...hence the result...

Anyone can create subdomains. Like I can create yahoo.busterboy.org and maybe even codeproject.busterboy.org. It's really easy, if you have your own DNS. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut
