No.
On Tuesday Sept 26, 5:17pm (Pacific) my customer registered the domain
successfully through the Network Solutions website without any
problems. He received a confirmation email.
After he received his confirmation message, I immediately (Tuesday Sep 26)
went a did a whois.internic.net for the domain, and received (again):
"Domain not found locally, but Registry points back to local DB.
Local whois DB must be out of date."
(This means that the internic.net was still out of sync with
whois.networksolutions.com and the domain was STILL in limbo)
This morning (Sep 27), I checked whois.internic.net and got:
No match for "(domain not shown here)".
However, when I query a.root-servers.net, the domain is active and points
to the proper nameservers.
