Ever had a domain not propogate?
I had a client not pay me on time. And their domain expired. However it was still registred, never came back for resale. So I used a transfer to the new registrar when the client paid.
Odd thing is the domain never propogated once I updated the nameservers. To this day (now going on 2 weeks) it still has not propogated. It is an org domain so it underwent maintance is what the registrar told me this past weekend. The tonight I called and they said change it to parked. Wait 15 minutes then update it to what it should be...
I am praying it works or owe this client for massive down time. But not much I can do since we as users don't have control over how domains popogate and such.
So I am wondering is anyone else had a similar senario and problem and could offer comments or even a solution
Admins - Mods: If THIS is offer topic god help me because I just can't seem to get it right...I really am sorry..

This happened to me before. Since there are DNS caching at multiple nodes on the net, you can have severe delay if some nodes do not update properly. Try accessing your domain from other locations than the one you normally use -- try a library.
You can also try accessing your domain through other services, like http://www.anonymizer.com/
Translation services site may also work because you are changing your route on the internet to get to your domain, i.e., different DNS server.

I use a better method.
called nslookup. It is windows 2k, XP, linux, and unix.
It allows you specifiy the domain, and a nameserver to use.
It will then query that nameserver for what it shows in its record.
So far everyone I have tried. From AT&T to Mindspring has come up non-existant.

Can you confirm with the registrar that the domain is active?

Also, most registrars do not allow transfers within a certain amount of days to expiry or when the domain has expired.

sometimes Registrars put blocks on domains.

It was actually something on my registrars end. There servers were actually locking the domain for some reason, preventing it from propogating. Just took me doing all the level 1 tech support crap for them to move it to level 2 where then a real person looks at the files on there systems. Low and behold there was a problem there....
Sometimes the business "design" of tech support really just drops the ball. But Business is a game of numbers if you have a 85% success rate with it, versus 60% with just letting humans do it as they please guess you always go with the systematic approach.
When will life afford us humans the ability to do things 95% perfect or more....
