.CN confusion?

[beatz]

Strange.
Several domains i had the high bid on now appear as reserved by the chinese government or "not exist" when looking at that whois page.Still those "not exist" names appear as not avail. when trying to manually register them.
I thought the reserved list was finished *before* the dotster auction closed?

For instance i had the high bid on porn.cn - now check the whois for that and then try to register it manually.
Won't work.

As far as I know not all reserved/grandfathered were in the CN Registry test environment before the auction ended.

Mark......
(no longer with Dotster)

Thanks for clearing that up;

still i am confused why some names do not show any registrant details or the "reserved for govt" thing but just say "not exist" while they cannot be registered manually?
