I think Chris is right, a reasonable first step is a Handbook section on "How to recover a port from the CVS Attic." Beyond that if users want to get together and implement Carsten's idea, or another similar service, go for it! But at this point there is no more utility in continuing to talk about this topic. Everyone has said what they have to say, often numerous times, and there has been way more heat than light shed on the topic for some time now (as evidenced by Conrad's recent post where he realized that the issue is not nearly as dire as he thought it was after taking a look at what is actually happening). Time to move on, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS. Yours for the right price. :) http://SupersetSolutions.com/
