    Hi, 
    
    I have no domains in .ch, but the mystery is solved: 
    
    http://www.pctip.ch/topthema/tt/21206.asp
    (This is German) 
    
    There are (German) discussions on
    http://www.symlink.ch/articles/02/05/29/2233228.shtml 
    
    and, obviously, on the heise-newsticker forum: 
    
    http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/go.shtml?list=1&forum_id=29856 
    
    In short, Microsoft was using its priviledged access to the Swiss NIC
    domains-database to produce a statistic of webserver operating-systems
    under the cc-tlds .ch and .li. 
    
    Their access to this database however, has been terminated, a spokesperson 
    claiming "violation of AUP" by MSFT.... 
    
    I guess, they clicked through the EULAs as fast as the average person ;-) 
    
    
    cheers,
    Rainer
