I see that domain was renewed yesterday after it lapsed.

I wonder how many services use OpenDNS they are returning this for most regions for pan.wxnz.net: : 209.99.40.222
Follow at your own risk.

Yep, you're not alone.

 

Looks like both the xnet.co.nz and wxc.co.nz domains have expired. Wow.

 

 

Where are you seeing them showing as expired (other than that page)? A whois shows they're not.

 

 

I queried the domain soon as this was posted, it was available for purchase through a few domain providers..

 

 

 

Was wide open for someone to squat.

Can see why vodafone are getting out of the domain registration game when they cant even handle their own.

Isn't there some stand down period after a domain lapses where it can only be sold to the same person before it goes to general availability, or, does this change depending on which top level domain it is?

Looks like it’s replicated now, OpenDNS is returning the correct IP address now.

There is, which is why i found it strange that it was wide open to purchase...

 

 

 

if i was devious, the temptation to teach a lesson about renewing would have been easy....
