Where to go to figure out which Backorder Service Caught A Domain?

A domain dropped today that I had backordered at several backordering services but apparently didn't catch.

Is there any website I can go to to find out what backordering service caught this domain?

Thanks

I've been able to deduce which service grabbed the domain name, IMHO ... generally speaking ... by looking at the details (particularly the Nameservers) within Whois! :gl:

As more time passes (you mentioned that this is occurring today), and the domain fully resolves ... it's easier to discern as well.
Do you have any specific details yet on this specific domain name?

Jeff, thank you very much for your reply. Turns out that I did win the domain afterall but I spent most of the day in limbo because I only just got the email from the backordering service 7 hours after the drop. I'm used to catching my domains with Pool and they let you know right away.

What a crushing feeling that is when you really wanted the domain bad and you've backordered it everywhere and you hours after the drop you've heard nothing so you figure you lost.

How's it going Bryant? I just had something similar happen to me. I was ecstatic I won a name this past week and then I checked the whois today and someone ELSE was listed!!! EEK! D-: :'( I figured my credit card didn't go through and I was crushed. Then I double checked and yes, my credit card was charged and it's listed in my account with an invoice. They just haven't updated the whois yet! PHEW!!!!!!! :D

You haven't been posting much, busy with your forums? Sorry I haven't been around, been on here periodically and also developing some mini-sites. Hope things are well. :)

This failed to works since last week??? internic.net and registrar.verisign-grs.com now all do not show the correct whois! Anyone has any ideas?

This is the first time it happened since i started checking whois for drops 6 months ago.
