Ok perhaps I go out here, get my own script which talks to the opensrs
script, which talks to rr-n1-to which talks to the InterNic registry..... i
run my own Whois.... and register domains in my name, and customers will
only have access via my own script, because username/passwords are different
from the ones used at OpenSRS.... then we are our own customers, which then
resell again.... isn't this just a little bit **** (fill with whatever you
want)
I you mention ICANN then OpenSRS is the registrar and the RSPs are the
Registrars customer, as long as the customer (in this case the RSP) pays the
Registrar (which he does in this case) the domains is at free use of the
customer of the Registrar in this case THE R S P! Is that so difficult????
Cheers
