I just can't believe that it's by "trial & error"...that can be right!?!

Lex, mate - read the information that's available to you.

Nominet's website, AD, it's out there. Just use a bit of savvy, eh?

What happened ? looks like they've all dropped already and it's only 1am

Well who would have thought it! The new database that we installed over the weekend is so fast that the overnight renewals script runs much, much faster than before. The drop script was not expecting this and treated them as special cases that slipped from one of our other processes and so deleted them immediately.

All fixed now as I'm sure you have guessed.

One of these processes might be someone who regged and then discarded a domain, so this one doesn't wait for any period of time before it drops?

Another might be prenoms that get manually randomised? and fed into that process?

Another might be DRS cancelled domains?

Sorry it's probably not for me to ask, but are these right and are there other processes we may know about?

edit: and that all these "other process" domains will drop at 00.47

No, it's more like a 'hang on these domains shouldn't be able to be here, something must have gone wrong I must cancel them immediately' type process. Anyway, there is no chance of it happening again.
