The WHOIS database seems to be updated at random intervals. Today, it never did get updated. The data is more than 24 hours stale in the WHOIS database, and the "last updated" time is being reported as yesterday, mid-morning. The name servers do appear to be up-to-date, though. The F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET machine has an out-of-date com. zone. The other name servers seem to be up-to-date, and the F server is OK for the net and org domains, and the root domain. Only the com TLD is out of date (5 days old). On a positive note, the domain name modification forms appear to be back from the dead. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie dts@senie.com Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranthnetworks.com
