Need your help with a drop

[Logik]

I want this domain thats going to drop soon. When should I try to manually register this domain?


Updated Date: 16-oct-2002


>>> Last update of whois database: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 17:02:23 EDT <<<

The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.

Domain not found locally, but Registry points back to local DB.
Local WHOIS DB must be out of date.

doesn't look like it is going to drop

[Kid Kool]

My question is should I try to register five days after the last update Fri, 25 Oct 2002 between 2-3 PM??????

DKNY,

why do u think it got transfered?

 

[Kid Kool]

the domain is not dropping.

where it says it "updated on oct 25" just means that the last update of whois info on the net for all domains.

as you can see there are nameservers in the root directory

 

[Logik]

Whoa,

I didn't see an expire or created date, so I assumed it was dropping.

 

[RMF]

Let me guess...Lotto.com?

[dvdrip]

Everybody wants Lotto.com!!!

 

[DomainNameFactory]

The guy who owned it must have died. How the hell do you let LOTTO.com drop???

I asked this question before but nobody answered it. Asking again how do you differentiate a transfer from a drop? For above example it seems it is a transfer since the updated date is october 16 and it should have dropped at october 22, so it could be a transfer. Other than than where do you look at to make sure my question? You can PM me if you want. Infomrative answers could get some stinky Greg bucks

No answers to my question? does it mean nobody knows it or just do not wanna share it?

 

[Logik]

Anybody wanna know the name....

You are dealing with four different databases...
Two whois ... the shared registry (Verisign) and the registrar whois... then the zone (dns) and last the "shared registry" ... any one of which could and usally is out of sync and delayed from
any other ... Check the zone on this name to make a call about a transfer... If it's in the zone it's a transfer (maybe for nothing is 100%)... The
Name servers on the registrar whois are not much to indicate anything... the only absolute is that
if a name is not in the "shared registry" it's available to register even if registrars have whois records still on file.

It is dropping. After you get that message... "Domain not found locally, but Registry points back to local DB.
Local WHOIS DB must be out of date." The domain becomes available 4-5 days later... like clockwork.

I thought autodirect.com would drop, but i was wrong. Thanks for everyone who responded to my post.

 

[TurNIC.com]

askii do you have a written source for that structure I wanna read that. By the way for greggish your comment is wrong. If it was true than the url.com should have dropped at october 22.

SirAlex, No .. I could write you one I guess....
I did error a bit ... five databases there be...
