Okay, here's a temporary solution. Since it looks like it's just .COM that's b0rken, you can make your own nameservers authoritative for .COM until this blows over. Note that this solution is NOT approved by Network Solutions; I didn't ask them first, I'm just trying to keep the Internet working for everybody. If you don't have a recent copy of the .COM zone file lying around for just this type of contingency, you can grab the one I downloaded this morning at: http://www.cybernothing.org/comzone/ The original md5 and pgp signatures are there, too, in case you want to check it. Warning: this is a gigantic zone file, so you're gonna need a machine with a hell of a lot of RAM. If anybody has such a server and enough bandwidth to share it, let us all know! -- J.D.
