I've been thinking about this incident with the wrong address in the .net domain for ns2.bc.net and I have come to the conclusion that the Internic needs to review some of their procedures.
We recognize the problem and are making incremental improvements to the service while attempting to keep up with the load (700 new a day on average and a high of 900+). The next round of improvements is reserving the domain as it is sent into our system, parsing and rejecting badly-formed templates, and running dns sanity checks (it is in beta-test now). Internally, we have discussed this ad-nauseam and plan on issuing a short paper on the domain processes (what we expect from you, what to expect from us, etc). I'll announce this on the rs-info@internic.net list as well as here. If you have any more suggestions, I'm all ears.
problem would not occur. THis is not the first time I have encountered such a problem. A few weeks ago I helped a small college in California sort out a problem with their email which was the result of the incorrect nameserver being recorded in the .ca.us domain.
This is a domain that is not administrated by us. I guess it is not just us that is experiencing this type of problem.
Another thing that would be nice to see is some method for updating domain information similar to the way routing policy is updated. If I wish to change secondary nameservers, I should be able to directly update records for my domain rather than submit an email request and wait 3-4 weeks for an overworked human being to get around to it. This is especially irritating for us because when we switched providers and therefore needed to switch secondary nameservice, it only took a few days to get the in-addr domains changed but our .net domain is dragging on forever.
You are experiencing the effects of the lastest surge of domain requests. A month ago we almost caught up but since then have been blasted by requests and phone calls putting us down in the hole again.
