The network that ns1.granitecanyon.com is on appears to be down; traceroutes die at ge-1-2-0.a01.enwdco01.us.ra.verio.net (129.250.26.147) . Anyone know what's going on with that?
then the problem is likely between verio.net and granitecanyon.com or within one of those two you clearly already have enough information to be following rfc 2142 instead of posting to nanog.
My apologies. The reason I posted to NANOG is because granitecanyon.com hosts The Public DNS Service, which handles a *lot* of nameservice for "The Little People" due to said services being free and automated; thus, I s/The Little//
you did follow rfc 2182, right. so, those particular nameservers being down should not be of too much concern for operation as your secondaries pick up the load. anyway, if the rfc2142 contacts haven't been exhausted, the broadcast to nanog is inappropriate, as is the precedence that has developed here to ignore the rfc and any entity who chooses not to maintain the contact addresses per the rfc.
thought the answer would be of interest to many here. I've consequently emailed support@verio.net instead and will attempt to keep my posts on-topic here in the future.
