Deletion of German domains

For the .is domains we did this all in one evening.

We listed out all the object maintained by our MNT object and registered them
all in our local database where the -RIPE part of the objects was changed to
-IS and then added a refer record to the is domain in the ripe-db.
After that we deleted all the subdomains in the ripe-db along with all the
unreferenced objects.

Since then everything has been working fine except for a few users that didn't
get the nic-handle change the first time, but now it has been 2 months and
it seems like it never was the other way around  ;)
