Well, sure there would be, which would be to implement it as I described (make it change OpenSRS's auto-ack into an auto-nack for certain domains) instead of using Verisign's official registry lock setting, which has some undesirable side effects if you're just trying to prevent non-authorized transfers. (Or maybe in some cases they're desirable, depending on the domain owner's wishes.) In any case, there's some virtue in using standardized systems even if they have drawbacks, and it sounds like OpenSRS already has it implemented, so that's fine. As I said, I appreciate the effort. It was just a suggestion in case the implementation decision hadn't yet been made. -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies "The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was."
