Yes you are right. It is a legal problem and it will be so, as long as DNS
keeps today's way. My interest is simple. Should it be like this?

If someone makes a virus that over writes bind configuration files with tons
of domains data and succeed to spread it, all internet will go down and it
must take so long to check all name servers and get back control. Mail
spreading virus and ping o' deth attack are just like kid's play compare to
this method, because there are still logically reliable network functioning
after infection. This is the strongest virus I can ever imagine. If it
happens, should all domain owners make legal action against all name
servers' administrators independently?
I wonder why there is no automatic permission check function for adding and
deleting domain record from a name server. I think this problem is caused by
lack of DNS architecture.

For my personal problem, DIGIWEB and INTERLIANT insist that the problem was
fixed already. My managing domain is easterntrend.com, so it should follow
US rule. Please read the first post of this thread.

Again, please do not mix up my personal problem and general DNS architecture
question.

Thank you Danny again. Your advice courage me to negotiate with them.
