I ran massdns against the list of blocked hosts using Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8) and found that 21.66% of them returned an NXDOMAIN response, indicating expired domain names.
This presents a unique problem. While these domain names are no longer active, they continue to remain on ACT Fibernet's block list. If someone were to re-register one of these domain names tomorrow, it would still probably continue to remain blocked. What should be done in this situation? Should this project only document currently active domain names? Or should it document even expired domain names that continue to remain on ACT Fibernet's block list?

I conducted additional checks and found that certain domains were either unregistered or not associated with any IP address. Given their widespread blocking, it's unlikely that anyone would seek to register these domains. I suggest moving them to an archive for now. We can periodically review the archive and add any domains that have been registered since our last check. Inactive domains are not of any use to anybody but we can still keep track of blocked ones by using an archive.
