Different Expiration Date?

[Vlink]

I'm interested in a domain, but Whois show that:
"Domain <...>
Updated Date: 09-mar-2003
Creation Date: 19-nov-1994
Expiration Date: 18-nov-2003
>>> Last update of whois database: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 18:23:27 EST <<<"

But, at the ending line, it show:
"Domain created on 18-Nov-1994
Domain expires on 16-Nov-2005
Last updated on 19-Nov-2001"

Any thing wrong here? When will it be expired? Nov 2003 or 2005?

Hard to tell.

1st date is registrar expiration date.
2nd date is registry expiration date.

My guess is that registrar sent 2 yr renewal command to the registry. Registry got it, but at the same time registrar "forgot" to write it in its own database.

Registrar will probably realize its mistake (or at least customer who payed it will) and it (registrar) will correct the error.

1 option is that neither registrar or customer will notice the problem and registrar will send this domain to the redemption period. But it is low probability if domain has site on it (site will stop working and customer will notice it and will contact the registrar).

99% that you will need to wait until 2005. Sorry
