>> I send this to the list and not to support to warn others. I think [EMAIL PROTECTED] gave a probable explanation. As for "warning others", perhaps some balance is needed; I've transferred many names to OpenSRS with absolutely no problems. In fact, the first transfer I did was of my primary domain name. It transferred absolutely flawlessly, and I had no downtime. The name servers (which were based on the domain name) transferred as well. There is a known problem with nameservers in that Network Solutions doesn't kill their internal records for a nameserver after a transfer. It could affect if you ever modify the name server to use a different IP address; people who try to register a domain with NetSol after the modification will have troubles. That's a NetSol problem, though, not OpenSRS. Transfers most often fail because the admin contact either doesn't get the authorization request (changed email, etc) or fails to act on it.

What should I think of this message: "Registration attempt for chinadirect.net failed: Request failed validation: Nameserver pan.bijt.net does not exist in the registry." This I got when registering a domain that was expiring. Fortunately there are other registrars... On this list we have been assured time and again that there could happen nothing funny with the nameservers under a domain, when transferring it to OpenSRS. How about this then? This is in transfer, to be precise: I acknowledged the transfer on the page one gets by email. Transfer is from Joker/CORE. I would very much hope for a clarification. There are over a 1000 domains under this nameserver, plus the secondary is under the same domain... And it does a an ORSC root server. The domain, for those who haven't guessed, is BIJT.NET. whois knows about it still (command line I mean, which does internic first). But that is always 'old'. I am a bit mad. I would very much hope someone can explain this to me. I send this to the list and not to support to warn others. Thank you! -- Marc Schneiders (rest in header)
