(ns1.websurfhawaii.com) That's incorrect. The listed servers do have the domain info. It's the root servers that don't list it. These days, the whois database no longer lists things like holds placed on a domain. Generally, if the domain is listed in whois, but is not delegated by the root servers, then Internic has disabled the domain, either deliberately or not. You have to contact them and find out why the domain is held up. It almost is enough to encourage people to register domains with other countries, because it's unlikely that Internic will foul up *their* delegations, and some other countries have registration authorities that are better managed than NetSol. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
