A domain expired a year ago according to the whois... I'll even give you the domain... postmaster.com.

So it expired in first half of 2009. Here it is a year later and you are not allowed to register it. Does anyone know why this is and how this works?

Both Godaddy and Networksolutions list September 2009 as the expiration date...

Maybe there is just a disconnect between the whois on different sites?

Register your domain name at http://www.cscglobal.com
The domain is in good status with the registry.
It's the registrar whois that reports the name as expired. Perhaps the renewal was not paid for by the registrant. But it's not dropping any time soon ;)
