Has anyone else been having problems modifying domain templates, etc using PGP authentication at the Internic? I called today because I've been having problems for a week and was told that Network Solutions is having difficulties with their PGP keyserver. No ETA on when it's going to be fixed. I'm just wondering if this is the truth or if the tech is just not willing to help me with my domain issues.
It's been nonfunctional (at least according to NSI) for some time now, probably more than a year, though they may have had it functional for short periods therein.
I wasn't aware that NSI had announced it was nonfunctional. If they officially know that it's down, whyintheheck do they still promote it on their web site? Call me crazy, but p romoting a service that they know is broken (and has been broken for months) and has no particular ETA to be fixed seems like a stupid thing to do. So Guardian is dead, and now there are going to be a lot more registrations like 'mybigstiffy.com' (try a whois on it), and a lot more people registering all sorts of domains and pointing them to random nameservers. Oh joy, what a wonderful leap *backwards* this all is.
