OK, so the registry WHOIS will not show the updated date despite the fact that the domain has been updated through OpenSRS. > Renewal orders are completed immediately in OpenSRS and renewal funds are > deducted from the Reseller's account at that time.

Is there any place on the net (OpenSRS' own WHOIS?) other than (I assume) the Manage interface - which I am going to guess will show "Renewal Applied State" under "Waiting Requests" - where we can show our customers that we really did renew their domain? Also, will the RWI show the old (pre-renewal-applied) expiry? > Resellers will have the option to use the standard 90/60/30/5/-10 day > configurable notifications available in OpenSRS via the RWI and Client Code > implementation. OK, which expiry will this be applied against? If the domain is "renewed" at 91 days, but the expiry date not update until the actual date of expiry, will the UK domain holder continue to receive renewal notices despite having renewed the domain? Thanks in advance for the clarifications. -- John Keegan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://RackShare.com
