Never mind. I'm an idiot. The domain name DIDN'T show up on the list of reserved names that was published right before .US went live, but it *does* match one of the rules for reserved names.
Therefore it's not available, but it's also not reserved by anyone.

I've got a question about a .US name that was in our queue for pre-registration. When TUCOWS processed the pre-regs, we got back a "denied" status on this particular name (and on several others). Shortly afterward, we got notification from Tucows that one of the names was not actually denied, and that it had been added to our reseller account. Sure enough, the WHOIS works properly for that name. BUT for one of the other names, no WHOIS comes up, and the whois at whois.neustar.us reports: There were no records matching your query. "xxxxxx.us" may be available. If I try to register the domain, it comes back as "taken". So, how do I determine *WHO* owns it? I tried going to www.crsnic.net, but they don't seem to report anything for *any* .US names.
