We've actually got this question fairly regularly, especially in the last few months. I'm ashamed to say that we've never got round to working out a proper solution for this scenario. So far the answer has pretty much just been "sorry, can't help you". I guess for "regular" registrars that charge recurring fees for domains it's easier to deal with... customer doesn't pay, domain expires, domain gets released for re-registration after X period. If someone has a bit of time and wants to think the whole process (and pitfalls!) through and come up with some suggestions we'll definitely see if we can work it in though! - Christiaan -- ZA NiC Hostmaster http://www.za.net/ hostmaster@xxxxxxxxxx Tel/Fax: +44 1442 240870 _____________________________________________________ FreeDNS ZA NiC - free domain names freedns@xxxxxx Archive: http://www.za.net/freedns/
