Thanks everyone for the fast responses. These line these guys are using is that they have had an enquiry from "another interested party" who is interested in registering your company domain name. They need their answer within a week and it costs $595. They will give you 24 hours to think about it and call you back. Its very very hard sell. I mentioned .pokey and got a nervous laugh and immediatly was passed on to the more technical dude. Our final response was call us back when your accessible to me without changing my top level root servers. I hope people don't support these guys. The last thing the internet needs is more confusion about how to find australia. John Creasey (johnc@csdc.toshiba.com.au) wrote: : I've just been contacted by someone selling .com.aus : domain names.

To me it would seem a : pretty crazy thing to do. : : I'm very suspicious as this company does not have a .com.aus : domain itself and neither has anyone else from what I can tell. : Does anyone know anything about this? : : -- : ------ : johnc@toshiba.com.au : http://www.toshiba.com.au/~john -- ------ johnc@toshiba.com.au http://www.toshiba.com.au/~john
