We went through that last year. The domain name was > 3 months past expiration, and I finally called NSI and got kicked up the food chain to someone "in legal". I was told that "NSI will not release expired domain names for other to register unless the name is intentionally transferred by the [ex] owner of the domain". And there at lay, until the name we had been trying for 3 1/2 months to register was mysteriously registered by abovenet.
normally i don't "me too!" but just for the sake of being counted as one of the gouged, "me, too!" i had this *exact* same experience, except that the domain i was trying to register (more than 6 months exired) was eventually registered by someone using myname.com. the upside? this prompted me to get off my lazy butt and stop using netsol to register our 10 or so domains/month for customers. we are working with opensrs now. (in the process of getting contracts reviewed, etc., and should be fully migrated away from using netsol in about 30 days.) deeann m.m. mikula director of operations telerama public access internet http://www.telerama.com 1.877.688.3200
