Why may I ask would they be, if they are a big web-hosting doing the following: (direct quote from www.shameonnike.com) "The file [nike.com.dns] was recognised by our server as being valid on the next scheduled reboot. We reboot three-four times each day depending upon how many new domains we are registering for clients through FrugalNames, FrugalHosting and or FrugalPlus." If they are really that worried about security I guess the reason they are rebooting would be to flush out anyone who's attacking them and make sure that any trojans that they've added have been activated??
Remember, when they bought StarDivision they bought more than just StarOffice. StarDivision was working on a new product at the time that Sun ate up. It _was_ called StarPortal and was, as I was told via the rumormill, a web based MDI that is identical to the MDI StarOffice uses. So, they could in theory get everyone to use this wonderful new product they have, they could get everyone used to the interface and then start charging a minimal fee to have that be a web-based portal product that is always in the latest version, gets new features all the time and requires no maintenance from an IT perspective. All for a low monthly fee. Sounds great doesn't it.:) Trust me they aren't eating anything, thier herding the buffalo to the edge of the cliff and doing it in a way that the buffalo will pay for the awesome view as they are getting pushed over the side.
