Just an update. The information I gave is current, the InterNIC gets their info from the top-lelvel registrars. For the .com and .net domains, Verisign delegates the details to the individual registars, in this case GoDaddy. The various tools (not just the one I gave) recurse and get these details. Verisign's own tool will do so, in fact.
I just got mail from Nick that he's on the phone to GoDaddy now. I certainly hope this clears it up for him. I'm very sorry to have dragged him back into it, but I hope I've been of some help in straightening it out. BTW, these are all live records, and propagate within 48 hours of registration changes. The date on them is the date of the last change. On Apr 8, 6:59 pm, "Guess Who, You Probably have my Number" <nnarb...@gmail.com> wrote: > I did. But I am know internet genius.
