This also happened to one of our customers' domains, also at Network
Solutions registrar; if I recall correctly, it had been registered for
less than 60 days so we couldn't transfer it yet. This was about ten days
ago.
They simply dropped it from the root servers and couldn't explain why it
had happened when we asked, but they did confirm it had happened to some
others, too. They fixed it about 24 hours after we complained. The
customer had just placed a transfer order with us so he was
(understandably) suspicious that we had broken it, but we hadn't even
submitted the transfer yet.
