On a side note... Maybe their records aren't entirely in sync or those values aren't the ones being used? I see one domain that has: Record expires on 04-Sep-2002 Yet is in REGISTRAR-HOLD and shows: Expiration Date: 02-sep-2003 Is there some other database or data they might be using? I also see this on another domain - does this mean the hold period is actually a YEAR? Andy.
