Hi,

For the last 3-4 days, I have kept my eyes on one particular .com domain. Everytime I do whois on it, it says

Domain not found locally, but Registry points back to local DB.
Local whois DB must be out of date.

I believe it will be available soon. But how long? It's been about 3 days.:mad:

Anyone knows how long should I have to wait?

I read an article long time ago, and it said:
Just add six days to the "Updated Date".
But, I don't know whether or not the above comment is valid, as I never watched/monitored expired domains.

Franky :cool:
