I must not be on enough or the right lists...but what's the deal with worldnic.com? I'd not heard anything about it until today. I tried to move a domain (a .org domain) for a customer today, and got the following reply from domreg () internic net: Thank you for contacting Network Solutions, Inc., InterNIC Registration Services. The domain name you are attempting to update was registered through WorldNIC Services and should be updated via the following URL: http://www.worldnic.com This looks like Network Solutions taking advantage of its position as controller of the big three commercially used TLDs to find new ways to dip their fingers into another part of the pie...perhaps in anticipation of losing their monopoly on domain registrations. What does my ISP need to do to get setup with Network Solutions such that anytime someone wants to modify a domain registered through us, the request is bounced litterally saying "you can't do that, go talk to FDT about it."? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis () fdt net> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
