Looks like InterNIC is cleaning house. Some 48,000 domains disappeared from the roots last night. -joe On Thu, 13 Aug 1998 18:03:26 -0400, "Steven J. Sobol" <sjsobol@nacs.net> wrote:
I'm getting bounces on my mailing lists from BELLATLANTIC.NET saying "Host not found".
After a little sleuthing, I've found that Bellatlantic.net is on hold!!
I just got off the phone with their NOC. The guy there told me that the problem will get fixed with tonight's update. He also told me that apparently there were other domains that got put on hold by the InterNIC.
I'd be very surprised if Bell Atlantic hadn't paid for their domains. I have to assume this is an InterNIC issue.
Anyone know what's up over there?

Didn't they check to make sure they weren't deleting valid domains?! This is worse than the time I worked on the phone with one of their support people and they screwed up and changed the domain record to "nacs.com", which effectively removed NACS.NET from the database altogether. I bet the National Association of College Stores wasn't too happy either.
