As a system user/admin,
I want the platform to accurately fetch expiration dates for .au and .com.au domains,
So that I don’t encounter errors and can properly track Australian domain lifecycles.
Context / Problem
Currently, when trying to fetch data for .au and .com.au domains, the system fails and throws the following error:
“We were unable to fetch domain expiration data.”
This happens because Australian domains restrict standard global WHOIS queries. To retrieve the correct expiration data, the system needs to query the specific registrar server for Australia.
Proposed Solution
Update the domain fetching logic to handle Australian extensions specifically. If a domain ends in .au or .com.au, the system should route the WHOIS request through the official registrar server: whois.auda.org.au.
