Rodney, Thanks for the announcement. I now have something to forward when people wonder why a domain update can take 24hrs. For those of us not on 50 lists a one time post to nanog like this is a big help. Dave At 6:03 -0700 9/5/03, Rodney Joffe wrote:

During the root zone (.) update later today, specifically with root zone serial number 2003090501, the entries for .org will me modified.
The current zone entry contains the following authoritative nameservers for the .org tld:
org. 2D IN NS A7.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS L7.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS G7.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS F7.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS M5.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. org. 2D IN NS TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET. org. 2D IN NS J5.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS I5.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS C5.NSTLD.COM. org. 2D IN NS E5.NSTLD.COM.
Effective with the 2003090501 load, the entry will reflect the removal of the Verisign NSTLD.COM nameservers. The zone entry will therefore contain the following only:
org. 2D IN NS TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. org. 2D IN NS TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET.
If you have the 9 ??.NSTLD.COM nameservers cached or hard coded in any way, you may wish to flush your cache or modify your nameservers in the near future to avoid any inconsistent or stale data, and you may want to make your system administrators, NOCs and customer support groups aware of the changes.
The .org zone file will continue to be pushed to the Verisign nameservers for a short period of time. However due to the fact that the UltraDNS nameservers publish and propagate zone changes globally within 5 minutes, rather than the twice daily update schedule of the Verisign nameservers, answers from the NSTLD.COM nameservers may be out of date and inconsistent with the actual SOA for up to 24 hours after a change is accepted by the Public Interest Registry (PIR.org).
Any questions or concerns regarding this change should be directed to the PIR (http://www.pir.org).
Sincerely, Rodney Joffe
