If you were also a victim of this needless stupidity, please contact telecom and demand they arrange for slave name service for above zone from two additional well connected name servers OUTSIDE their network.

How can this be? The core of their network has high nines reliability. No, it's true - I've seen it on TV. These servers mustn't be part of the core.

I suspect they're not the only guilty ones here - you'd do well to check your particular provider. Now listen carefully, grandma - this is an egg and if you.... When setting up servers start with outside your own network, then on a network with a different backbone provider and offshore for even better redundancy. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
