Perhaps the manage tool could atleast show a screen which encourages the user to contact NetSol and any other registrar to make arrangements to have their nameserver added to the other registries as well.
Or atleast point to a FAQ which explains further action which is recommended to be taken. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Daminato > Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 4:42 PM > To: ST > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Registry Nameservers > > > There are some difficulties with this. > > If we make it add to "all" registries, as more and more registries are > added the more expensive and time consuming (from a system POV) this would > be.
