Ok thanks Carl, I'll keep that in mind...

Just seemed odd to me that within a week, I started getting several of these type submissions (when I'd never seen it before)...also the fact that ALL of them are using some derivation of the domain name as the username (surely that can't be a coincidence)...and the fact that they are on different hosts also makes it unlikely that several hosts would be doing this custom ns thing, no?

I honestly don't know...for now I'm declining.

Don't blame you a bit for declining. Frankly, the vast majority of submissions I get with custom ns are pure shit anyway. Don't think I've seen the other specifics you mention...yet.

I think more hosts offering custom ns as an option though. I've been with the host where I have custom ns for a few years. It was last year when he moved me to new servers that he requested I purchase a domain to use as ns. I honestly don't recall what his reasoning was as to why to do it that way.

Earlier this year, I moved one of my servers to another host. While setting up that box, the host asked me if I wanted to use custom ns or use theirs...I chose the latter.

The fact that more hosts are offering this as an option may explain why we're seeing more of it in whois lookups. Still doesn't make sense to use the same domain for ns and for submissions.

Custom ns do make it more difficult to determine if someone is using freehosting. Dunno...we might be seeing the beginnings of a new submission rule on the horizon

Lisa - that is a technique that is being used by some multisubmitters on some banned hosts - and you are correct - its increasing every day - and most LLs have now just started deleting those types of submits
