Ah, thanks for the lesson. This is why I like NANOG even though I'm not a network guru. I learn more about how the 'Net works all the time from here.
I don't know when people first were aware of this, and I would hope some were aware before I complained ~1000PST and NSI should have been aware right away when it happened, since if they don't have automated checking of each server that has a very high notification priority they are even worse than stupid, so I'm somewhat doubtful it started at midnight. But it is possible. NSI does make it hard for anyone who may notice it to contact them.
That would have been around the right time...I had a few domains that were dead when I tried them around 11pm EST and a ton of them that died after midnight Eastern.
false negatives. I know of three that were like that, and have had reports of more. Anyone asking one of those servers would be incorrectly told the domain doesn't exist.
That's exactly what I was seeing. One moment they were there, then when next I tried to get a page, it was gone..."Cannot connect to server". Thanks again for the instruction, O Wise One! Spammers should be investigated by Ken Starr! Dean Robb PC-EASY computer services (757) 495-EASY [3279]
