According to `whois` lookups, the master records have not changed recently. Does anybody know if these are the same IPs that have been used previously? It would appear that DNS has not recently changed, but we all know the SOA serial number is a hand-edit that is not required to reflect a date: $ dig +short -t soa miranda.org ns1.miranda.org. admin.miranda.org. 2009102300 10800 3600 604800 10800 $ dig +short -t soa dict.org ns1.miranda.org. hostmaster.dict.org. 2009022601 7200 3600 1814400 10800 > i just ping'd dict.org and it is up. anyone know what could be causing > this? dict0.us.dict.org fails immediately if you ping the dict port. the others timeout if you do the same.
