I think ICANN would have to add a delay in where a request was sent out to make sure everyone was on the same page and then what happens the couple thousand (more) times a day that someone isn't updated or is misconfigured? I think Netsol should be fined. Maybe even a class action suite filed against them for lost business. And that's it. On Jun 20, 2013 11:28 PM, "Hal Murray" <hmurray@megapathdsl.net> wrote:

The Internet: Discovering new SPOF since 1969! :) Thanks.
Perhaps we should setup a distributed system for checking things rather than another SPOF. That's distributed both geographically and administratively and using several code-bases.
In this context, I'd expect lots of false alarms due to people changing their DNS servers but forgetting to inform their monitoring setup (either internal or outsourced).
How would you check/verify that the communication path from the monitoring agency to the right people in your NOC was working correctly?
