It is. You need to have pre-determined (manually done) of what servers
have these "parked" pages. Then if you see other domains pointing to
the same server, its almost always another "parked domain".
But as Randy points, just because its website is "parked" does not
mean domain is not being used in some other way. But in my opinion
this still qualifies domain as "parked" because common use of
"parked domain" term has to do with content of its website and does
not imply that domain is or is not being used in some unique way for
email or some other traffic.
