I've noticed that domain modifications have taken an abnormally long time to process as of late. Automagically generated mail seems to flow properly, at least for me.
Not just abnormally long, but a wierd kind of backwards. ;-) We're running an automated "InterNIC Manager" that I whipped up over here, and I'm constantly being told about ACKs that we receive hours after the domain has already gone through. ;-) Been happening since I wrote the system, but it's happening with alarming regularity since their troubles with splitting whois services off for ARIN (regularity meaning that almost -every- submission is going through, and then I'm getting the initial ACK ;-). Have they started prioritizing their outbound email? Another question, sort of related...why aren't ARIN and InterNIC doing referral whois back and forth? You'd think it would be relatively simple to just proxy the unknown requests to the other 'big' whois agencies (ARIN, RIPE, etc)... -- -------------------. emarshal at logic.net .--------------------------------- Edward S.
