TBR is the way .ca names are returned/released to the pool of available names. at noon on the TBR day, the domains become available to be registered, and registrars are allowed to submit a slightly modified request for them at a maximum rate of one request every 5 seconds. (The modification is basically a special command, and you _must_ use an existing registrant which has already accepted the agreement.) I have never actually done it, but I believe you can do TBR registrations through batch.opensrs.net. (we have two CIRA registrars. Baremetal.com and myreg.ca.) The TBR period lasts for 6 hours. Domains which have not been registered during that period become available for "normal" registrations at 6pm eastern time. -Tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The thing always happens that you really believe in; http://BareMetal.com/ | and the belief in a thing makes it happen. web hosting since '95 | - Frank Lloyd Wright
