Whole process ended up taking about 2 months for me. Must be nice. The entire process took 6+ years for us. And it's not entirely true that "only your domain registrar has host records for your domain". We recently transferred the affected domain from Netsol to another registry, but Netsol failed to delete the host record. Then, when called about it, they first said we had to get the domain list (which we have requested, literally, about a hundred times over the years, and never gotten), or, more recently, that it wasn't even in their database! Finally it took threats of lawsuits (don't look at me, that wasn't my idea. My boss is whacked out, he likes to threaten people like that way too much for his own good), but it disappeared. I still think my idea of submitting an IP change for the host record to a non-useable address (I was leaning towards 127.0.0.1, but RFC1918 addrs will work just fine, too) would have been more effective. But, c'est la vie. -j
