What can be down about domainbrokers.com?  Have a look at the files at
http://www.domainbrokers.com/asp/.  I just tried to register a domain for
a customer, and found that it had been registered the day before by
domainbrokers.com.  I believe they have no intention to use the domain
name.  All they hope to do is sell it, probably for $1000.  They appear to
have setup no DNS records other than NS records for it. 

Companies like this that piss in the domain name registration pool should
be banned from registering domains.
