<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, I know this is the BIND list but I’m
thinking folks who deal with DNS probably may be able to
answer this question about whois.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We recently transferred and renewed a
domain by 2 years which pushed its expiration to 01/25/2025.
The order confirmation shows that expiration and looking at
the domain at the Registrar’s web site under our account it
shows that expiration as well. However, when running whois
both here and at the Registrar’s site it shows expiration
01/25/2024. It makes me wonder if there is a 10 year limit in
whois since 2024 would be within 10 years but 2025 would be
outside of it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t see anything in RFC 3912
describing whois that even suggests a limit for expirations
dates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not a big deal as I may be dead by then
either way – just wondering if anyone knows of a reason this
would occur.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please don’t suggest I contact the
Registrar. I already did and they seemed as clueless as I am.<br>

"Each registrar has the flexibility to offer initial and renewal
registrations in one-year increments, provided that the maximum
remaining unexpired term shall not exceed ten years."<br>
<br>
In reality, they'll probably issue the renewal automagically once
you're under the 9-year mark and the domain is renewal-eligible.<br>
