Re: Important changes to the .org tld today.
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rather than the twice daily update schedule of the Verisign nameservers, answers from the NSTLD.COM nameservers may be out of date and inconsistent with the actual SOA for up to 24 hours after a change is accepted by the Public Interest Registry (PIR.org).
Hmm I thought this was NANOG and not MARKETINGPOINTLESSINFOOG ? Neil.

Neil. That's a pretty significant change to the way a global TLD is operating - definitely a suitable topic for announcement on NANOG in my opinion.

It is I agree and one as a .ORG customer I'm watching closely, only spoiled by some pointless marketing drivel in the middle.

I don't wear a suit. Ever. But I have run a real ISP before. And I *have* had to deal with troubleshooting inconsistent DNS. I assume that you've never had the experience or time sink that I guarantee *every* major network with customers has when the customer says: "Hey, some of my users can get to my site, and some can't. My site is broken. Fix it. Or fix your DNS. Sometimes it gives the right answer and sometimes it gives the wrong answer". Must be nice ;-) For those of you who *will* have to troubleshoot inconsistent DNS answers between the two systems, you've now had a "head's up". Especially those who hard code the root data (see the Nanog archives for discussions regarding hard coded root hints files). ;-) PS: I don't need two copies of your posts. Posting to the list alone is just fine. Or just to me ;-) -- Rodney Joffe CenterGate Research Group, LLC. http://www.centergate.com "Technology so advanced, even we don't understand it!"(SM)
