I run into domains like this a lot. Being relatively new to active domaining, what tools do you guys use/recommend for keeping an eye on domains like that so that if they do come back up, I can be automatically notified so I can snag them?

Also, in this specific instance, the whois says the domain is expiring Feb of 2011, but says:

Last Updated On:18-Mar-2010 12:07:52 UTC
Now I know that that registrar code means that there is a 30 day grace period until that domain can go back live, does that mean that it will be available on the 18th of this month?

If so, could I put together a script/cron job that just keeps checking availability based on that date and whois info?
