Exclude certain tld from domain syncronization

[DennisHermannsen]

Is it possible to exclude a certain tld from having anything changed through the domain syncronization cron?

.dk domains are managed through DK Hostmaster (the DK registry), and the status gets set to transferred away every time the cron runs. This makes it impossible for our clients to manage DNS for the domain. Currently we have a hook set to run after the cron job that sets the status to active manually.

not without access to the code - with it, it would be a very basic tweak to the SQL query to exclude the TLD; without it, you'll likely need to carry on with your current solution.

you could vote for this feature request and double it's vote count from 1 to 2 !

I suppose you could try contacting Support and see if they will give/sell the code for this cron (I doubt they would), but I think your current solution is probably the best one for now.

you could change to "Domain Sync Notify Only" and that would prevent any status updates from occurring, but then you'd have to manually edit the other statuses that need changing.

insane suggestion approaching.... as the sync cron only applies to domains assigned to a registrar, you could empty that field before the cron and then refill it afterwards... but that's just stupid and so you might as well continue with your post-cron hook.
