A system for allocating domain name acquisition resources is provided. The system performs a method comprising: obtaining, at a database, a list of domain names that are to be deleted during a first time window; updating a drop catch table in the database, wherein the drop catch table comprises a second list of domain names that are to be deleted; refreshing a cache in an application server that provides DNS services based on the drop catch table; obtaining, at the application server, a EPP command from a registrar to register a domain name from the drop catch table that is about to be deleted during a second time window; determining, based on the cache, that the domain name to be registered is available to be registered; updating a flag for the domain name in the cache indicating that the domain name is registered; and providing an acknowledgment to the registrar.
