Network Solutions reserving domain so I can only buy it from

[admin]

Hi guys.

I was wondering if this is legal, and if any of you have experienced this:

I had a client look on network solutions for a domain he wants, and it was available...

I now go to godaddy (and tucows), and they say the domain is not available.

When I check whois:
Domain Name: ***********.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.networksolutions.com">http://www.networksolutions.com</a><!-- m -->
Name Server: NS1.RESERVEDDOMAINNAME.COM
Name Server: NS2.RESERVEDDOMAINNAME.COM
Status: clientHold
Updated Date: 26-apr-2008
Creation Date: 26-apr-2008
Expiration Date: 26-apr-2009

However, if I go to Network solutions:

Congratulations! The following domains are available

Hows that for really stuffing you around and forcing you to register through them?

Is there anything I can do?

I really dont want to use Network solutions because 1) Price, 2) they are a bunch of cybersquatting wallys!

Advise?
