If you got mail on saturday, then I think the next reload is monday night. --Dean At 12:41 PM 11/23/1998 -0500, Steven J. Sobol wrote:
why the InterNIC notified me that changes to a domain had been completed on Saturday, and Whois is updated, but the root servers still point to DNS on the old site even though there have been two root server updates since then? Is this related to the problem we were all discussing last week?

The root updates occur 7 days a week now at 7PM ET every day. Used to only be weekdays, but has been every day since several months ago. Not having been able to get in touch with the InterNIC ("All lines are busy"), I looked up NetSol's site and called the 888 number for their WorldNIC division and (fortunately) got someone who sounded like she knew a little bit about the inner workings of the domain reg process. She said it takes 24-72 hours for changes to propagate because of the large number of registrations they deal with. That sounded logical to me, except InterNIC doesn't say ANYTHING about a 24-72 hour propagation time on their e-mails, and I've ALWAYS been able to check the root nameservers a few hours after a reload and see the changes. Oh well. I guess I'll call them back if NFORCE isn't authoritative on Wednesday morning... -- Steve Sobol [sjsobol@nacs.net] Part-time Support Droid [support@nacs.net] NACS Spaminator [abuse@nacs.net] Spotted on a bumper sticker: "Possum.
