When my DSL link got interrupted, last March, I had to go to a new upstream. I paid the $29.95 per name server, to NSI, and got it straightened out in less than four days. $30 bucks, for expedited service, isn't very expensive, considering the alternative. All my domains are served by the same three zone-servers, with backup zone-servers in AboveNet. After the main zone-server were back online, I used the normal process to get the rest of it straightened out, at no additional cost. That took a few extra weeks, but once the main zone servers were online, I had no pressing time issues.

Apparently NSOL thinks they are "special".. Even though my nameservers are registered with OpenSRS, NSOL thinks that I need to spend time (weeks, sometimes), sending them an updated "host" form every time I change an IP address.

I have some important name servers at NSOL that I have been trying to get updated for weeks, I'm down to the 'pay em $299' extortion plan to get them updated. --Mike--
