It's immmediate if they're using OpenSRS for their WHOIS (i.e. whois.opensrs.net), as far as I know. It won't be immediate if they use a different WHOIS (e.g. www.betterwhois.com, www.uwhois.com, or a WHOIS from a different registrar's website), though. It will take 12 to 24 hours, as the central-registry WHOIS doesn't update in real-time (and then that registry WHOIS provides a pointer to the OpenSRS WHOIS for that domain). I assume this is .com/net/org (not sure how often the other registries update). Sincerely, George Kirikos http://www.kirikos.com/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
