[excerpt]
"Network Solutions is hijacking unassigned sub domains
and delivering link filled holding pages for hundreds
of thousands of sites.

Win Betteridge runs GotGame.com and contacted
TechCrunch with the details:

For instance, app.gotgame.com resolves to a Network
Solutions page with text links, including ?Poker
Tournaments? and ?Texas Holdem Games.? The same is
true of any other unassigned sub-domain. We have
spoken to customer service a few times about fixing
this problem?

According to a search on DomainTools there are 294,438
sites on the same Network Solutions IP address as
GotGame.com. I ran a test on the sites listed (for
free) by DomainTools and every single one had the same
issue: unassigned domain names with link filled
Network Solutions holding pages."
