Thank you for your advice Barry. I am thinking about that way.

I would like to have some advice from DNS wizards here, if there is any
organization can make political action when an ISP does not delete a domain
record from their name server after the domain moved out from their hosting
service. I mean, does any organization has right to step into ISP to watch
their DNS configuration and if needed has right to order them fix it.

For me, it's very strange if whole DNS system running without such
mechanism. If DNS correctness only depends on each administrator's skills
and honesty, it must be very easy to destroy it with or without evil
intention. Hiding a target domain from users to obstruct and damage his
business can be happened everywhere. There are many domain owners who only
use hosting service and have no experience of configuring name server. I
wonder how many these owners really check their previous name server after
transfer their domains. If these problems must be found and solved only by
individual effort on legal action each time, I feel it's too anarchy.
I would like to hear your opinion for my worry. Do you think something
should be changed or current way is better?

My personal problem on DIGIWEB and INTERLIANT is another story. Please do
not mix it up.

I will be happy if I'm just missing information and someone tell me "There
is an organization for it".

Thank you
