"If I register a domain using my name servers, it begins to resolve as soon as the registry updates the TLD zone. With zero additional effort on my part, it points to my default web site, which displays a parking page with my default PPC results. Only if I want to change what it does do I need to do anything else, and then I only have to add it to my database with whatever particular options I want to use."

Hi Chuck, again thanks for all your time. Perhaps you could explain why is it when I reg a new domain using my standard nameservers (long after the registry update time), it does NOT resolve and brings up the standard Browser Page Not Found error screen?

What do I need to do differently to get a new domain resolving automaticaly as yours do?

The reason mine resolve with no additional configuration is that I have my name servers set up to answer queries for any unknown domain name (wild card DNS zones), and my web server set up with a default IP-based web site. Any time a domain name becomes active using my name servers, it points to my default website. Without these defaults configured, I would have to add a zone to my name servers and add a host name to my website every time I register a domain name.

So does that mean you must register new nameservers and only use that new nameserver and also a unique IP address assigned only to that new NS to do that?

In other words, you can't use the same nameservers and ip address where you have active websites, right? or am I misunderstnding this?

You can use the same name servers for all your domain names including those that are not specifically configured and those that are. A wildcard DNS zone is only used for domains that do not have matching zones, just like the default website is only used by domains that don't have matching name-based websites. When I register a new domain name, it brings up my default parking page until I either add a DNS zone that makes it resolve to a different IP address, or until I add a name-based website on the same IP address that matches it.

Thanks Chuck for all your helpful feedback, time and patience.

Still trying to figure it all out. It's even possible the answer to Masked Forwarding of non-active domains lies somewhere in this thread!

Always run multiple domains as 301 (permanently moved), as the other poster indicated above. This is the most sensible advice I've read in the entire thread.
"Stacking" the results with dupe content is *not* a good idea for sustainable search engine referrals.
