.com Zone File Query - http://www.ZFbot.com

Sorry - I wasn't checking for a zero array on the new matches form so anyone who registered and tried to open the "My Matches" form to enter domains wasn't able to... works now.

I expanded the allowable search length to include any 2 character string or greater (it was 3). This was achievable by adding indexes on first_two, last_two, first_three, last_three, first_four, and last_four character strings on the main zone table along with indexes on extension, domain length. I added a limit of 50,000 for any query to prevent time outs. Performance on the "ending with" type queries was not good... now it's significantly improved. As is the overall performance of the application. This is because I added logic to interrogate the length of the query and the app falls into a different loop depending on the length and thus uses the appropriate index and select statements. A query of a four character or more string uses the four character index, three character query uses the three character index, two character uses the two character index. Seems to have improved the performance nicely.

I'll be adding some additional filters on the main page and making the domain stats on the right not appear by default (this info is cool to look at but doesn't have too much value for us domain sellers).

I just received access to the .tel zone file and now that is included in the search criteria as well. Also, the domain stats no longer appear by default. If you want to see them, there is a check box on the upper right hand side.

I added a filter for the Parked column.... here's an example:

I'll continue to tweak the logic for determining a Parked website...

Thanks for sharing the list of parked nameservers, I was just looking for this!

Ken, further and continuing congratulations on this huge achievement. One tweak you might consider is whether a domain purchased for email only is classed as 'parked'.

My email domain is dalehubbard .com and you have it as being 'likely' parked; I assume because of the primary nameserver.

I don't know all the stuff you're currently doing at the preprocessing stage, but you might look at adding a 'dig -tmx domain.ext' thing, which in my case will show you that I'm using the domain for Google email. I think if you were to x-ref those MX results with the MX records of the top 10 email providers, it could be an added resource. So in my case, the domain would revert from 'likely' to 'email' or something like that, if the primary NS initially indicated it was parked but the MX records fall into those top ten email provider categories.

Great site - keep up the good work!

Great info Dale - Just doing some research on the DIG command... pretty cool. I'll need to do some further putzing around with it... and get the top 10 or so email providers server names. In these matched cases, I could report back the results as "email" or put it in the "unlikely" catagory...

couple updates:

1. You can now search for both "starts with" and "ends with" at the same time by selecting "both" in that dropdown....
2. I added a checkbox to filter off IDN domains (domains beginning with xn--)

Hasn't domain-search.domaintools.com been offering the same zone file search functionality for years?
