[i had a verisign registered domain expire, and tried to reclaim with godaddy's drop catcher service. it failed; another domain speculator got it from verisign directly and godaddy claimed they never saw the drop. i'm pretty sure this is not technically allowed but it seems common enough.] more drop catcher info than you ever wanted: http://dnjournal.com/columns/cover080504.htm
