John (et al) In discussing with our development group I've uncovered the potential cause for this problem. When we do changes (in bulk or singular), a seperate process is split to perform those changes. We send "success" messages via the API (manage.opensrs.net as well) to prevent timeouts. This process was put into place as we moved to thick registry models (.biz and .info especially) and we found that a bulk change across more than 1 registry (even if it was only a handful of domains) would time out.
The process would then attempt the changes (which may or may not be successful when actually talking to the registry). 99% of the time this seems to work fine. It would seem that we've had a lot of failures with .info lately, which we're digging deeper into. To minimize impact on changes, please attempt only one domain change at a time (where possible), and I'll let you know. FWIW, the info at .info is authoritative (since they're thick) so our default action is to sync. Perhaps we should be trusting our information?
