I had heard rumors of NSI doing something like that with domains that were not being renewed. So NSI is acutally going to do this? There is a domain from an ISP that is no longer in business that comes due soon and would like to get it. Will I be able to register it when it comes up or will the pricks at NSI hold it and auction it off? Which I completely agree is patently evil....and should not be allowed. Are any other registrars doing that with domains that are no longer being used? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
