Well, OK, I didn't realise that. But, it's not the point. I'm trying to test my code against OpenSRS, and they should provide a way for me to do that -- if they're as bothered about testing as they seem to be. Compare the situation with credit card processing APIs - you're provided with a card number that always works, and a card number that always fails, and so on. It doesn't matter that Securetrading (for example) don't run the clearing system; they're still able to provide these testing facilities. It should be possible for OpenSRS to provide a set of domains which will always produce the same results, in much the same way. This isn't just a complaint about testing transfers, the same problems apply to all transactions. I shouldn't have to be using 'i-bet-this-dunt-exist.com', or even my current 'solution' - my-domain-$date-$pid.com. Chris.
