Weird domain name entries for microsoft.com
When I go to this link and search for google.com or microsoft.com:
http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=microsoft&tld=com
I get a lot of strange entries like:
MICROSOFT.COM.ZZZZZ.GET.LA
MICROSOFT.COM.ZZZOMBIED.AN
MICROSOFT.COM.ZZZ.IS.0WNED
MICROSOFT.COM.WILL.LIVE.FO
MICROSOFT.COM.WILL.BE.SLAP
MICROSOFT.COM.WILL.BE.BEAT
MICROSOFT.COM.WAREZ.AT.TOP
How is this done? And how can I prevent my domain from having the same type of problem?

also these subdomains shouldn't be listed with whois.. but whois doesn't search your exact term.. and any registrar (there are a lot of registrars now) gives these 'funny' whois information then it must be listed.
actually it isn't the problem of internic.net. if you go to their site
www.internic.net and look the whois info. there
you will see the actual whois records of microsoft.com
now the gulli.com has given extra whois information and this is the problem.
maybe you could warn the 'false'(literally) registrar not to use that information
but this is again not a solution..cos there is actually a

I've seen this too, my whois runs against crsnic.net (verisign) and returns those same results, but another PC hit's OpenSRS/TuCows for the actual record. I think it might have something to do with a DNS poison, or some misconfiguration... if you do a whois for microsoft.com.net or google.com.net you'll see these same results...

This is because com.net is Sogo and for some reason whois is searching com.net... weird...

ns1.gulli.com just gives its A record for the address.
and both of the addresses are in the same class: A:80.190.192.33 and ns1: 80.190.192.41
which tells me dns zone controlled by the person who put this record in dns.

To put this simply, if you own a domain name, you can have as many subdomains with whichever names you please. For example:
If I owned SUCK.COM, I could make YOU.SUCK.COM, POLITICIANS.SUCK.COM, or even THOSE.COOKIES.YOU.BAKED.LA
There is no way to stop people from doing this with a domain they own.

'com' is the top level domain
and somebody has taken the 'gulli ' second level domain.
then this person probably has taken the control of his domain from the domain name seller.
than at his dns server he created the
toplist subdomain
at subdomain
warez subdomain
com subdomain
microsoft subdomain
the second 'com' isn't the top-level domain 'com'.
if its been created in the records of the domain seller's server, maybe you have a chance to warn the company.
