Worse, I think, since it means that the slightest blip at CIRA is consistently a full fledged .ca outage. Worse still, whenever CIRA is down, my registrant customers think it's *my* fault. A more useful set of error messages in the API would be handy. Something that spat back better blame assignment. Since you guys make announcements to the Live Reseller Update anyway, would it be that much more work to also put a more informative status message to be sent back via the API? Are you also running "passthrough" for other heavy registries (.info and .biz)? How is this stuff handled with them? Would it really be all that difficult to have OpenSRS changes to .ca domains applied to a local database with simultaneous submission to a queue for CIRA changes? It would involve a bit of programming, but OpenSRS gives the impression of being able to handle such things. ;) -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Operations / Development / Abuse / Whatever vox: +1 416 598-0000 it.canada http://www.it.ca/
