It's hit and miss, and there is no sane pattern to > it. There is one pattern: Domains in which there is a nameserver take longer to delete. They cannot be deleted before the nameserver is deleted first. So if you see (made up example): Domain Name: WXW.COM Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC. Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com Name Server: NS0.WXW.COM Name Server: NS1.WXW.COM Updated Date: 18-may-2002 Then it takes longer. Years sometimes. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bijt.net/
