Re: [registrars] SERIOUS Registry issue

Here's the word from Verisign...

"Thank you for contacting VeriSign Global Registry Services.

The last zone file was pushed out last night around midnight, it is possible
the domain was deleted after that zone file update.  After the next zone
file push today the domain will be removed from the com/net/org zone file.

If you require additional information please contact us at
info@verisign-grs.com."
