Weird whois

********** is not registered by us.

Registry Status: ACTIVE


just whois'ed a domain that was pending delete yesterday and it says this, does this mean its dropping?

More than likely, it was snatched by someone else (registrar, drop-service, whomever). But, the WhoIs server still hasn't updated. It has the old registrar listed, yet when it request domain data, that registrar just saying "we don't have that anymore". Where it is, should appear in that WhoIs when it next updates. Have you tried the root registry for that particular domain extension?

Interesting, I don't think I can ever say I have seen whois info like that... I would agree with what Maximum said though, the domain is probably grabbed by some person and the registry has not had an opportunity to update.
