AWS Load Balancer
Service name
AWS Load Balancer looks like "region.elb.amazonaws.com" or "elb.region.amazonaws.com"
Proof
The URLs produced when you create a load balancer contain a number which you can't control, like <vw3-production-622849735.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com>. Since Amazon assigns that number, you cannot claim an expired domain even if you can claim the "name" (in this case "vw3-production").

I had a good theory, created a engine to do it, invested a good time in that, lost 700$ in AWS costs with multiple accounts. By my calculations it would need 27 years to match with an valid ELB.
Good luck.

It was fixed recently. You will only get a set of 4 to 5 IPs when you associate and release the IPs. Before you could iterate until receiving the wanted IP.
I went down the ec2 IP route a year or two back. I created a script that went through all their IP ranges in about 2 weeks. I found that it eventually it started giving me the same IPs again without giving me any that were available for possible takeover. I guess they have some long lease time on them preventing takeover.
