Do you mean, checking availability status? If so, availability status checks take about 2 seconds. This is pretty much normal. Time it at netsol and other places. If its a lot slower for you on your site, well, contact your ISP. On Sun, 6 Jan 2002, Ted Feely wrote: > Why are domain name lookups via opensrs so slow?
