We have updated the following domain name portfolio management software products.
For Watch My Domains Pro, it is only a simple maintenance release.
Domain Finder (the tool in Watch My Domains ISP and Domain Punch Pro that identifies available domain names) will now work faster and better. It will also automatically identify the invalid IP addresses (for DNS based lookups).
The “domain name finder” checks if a domain has a valid A (DNS) record as a first step while deciding if the domain is registered or not. If it doesn’t find a valid IP address, it will do a whois lookup. This minimizes the number of whois lookups and also increases the speed of lookups. Also, this method will appeal to people who are paranoid about their domain name searches.
In the earlier builds the above method had a problem if you used OpenDNS for your DNS or if your ISP automatically resolved all domain names. The fix was to manually add the OpenDNS IPs to the invalid IPs list. After this update, you need not do it manually.
