I've been trying to resefve a domain name for a customer of ours that had been reg'd before, but expired 2 years ago (not months but YEARS) - even called NetSol to ask them why this name has not yet been made available; they didn't have an answer - just suggested I signup for the "auto-try-registration" deal through an affilate of theirs that trys to automatically submit registration on your behalf if the name should become available...of course my customer didn;t want to pay $69 to "try" out something
