William,
I just gave this a try - and the answer is yes. I can login to a domain
(say, one sponsored by "chuck") at another RSPs interface (say, "chuck2"),
and turn on Auto-Renew. However, the "chuck2" RSP will pay for the
initial renewal. You cannot just turn Auto-Renew "on" (unless you're the
sponsoring RSP), via renew.cgi you have to auto-renew first.
We'll have to work on that, at least to give the sponsoring RSP notice
that the domain's renewal status has changed (remember, I did this in
Horizon, which has slightly disabled renewal management).
If you use manage.cgi, you get this:
Set Auto-Renew Request Failure! Reason:Fail (only sponsoring RSP can set
auto-renew for <domain>)
So for manage, you cannot set auto-renew blindly (which does not require
you to renew).
To be certain with renew.cgi, you'd have to try it with a domain on the
live system - I'm willing to move a domain to my RSP account if you have
one you're willing to test to be sure.
