[nznog] 2day.com assistance required

Forwarded for Rob, since he's subscribed to nznog using his 2day.com address (see below). Mail to 2day.com addresses is currently being bounced by the host listed in the wildcard A record in the COM zone, so if your customers call and complain that they can't send mail to foo(a)2day.com, this is probably why.

A registrar inadvertently put the 2day.com zone on REGISTRAR HOLD, with the unpleasant result of removing it from the root zone.

This makes hosts in the zone 2day.com unresolvable. The registrar in question has been appropriately disciplined, but it will be some time until the root zone is updated.

In the meantime, it would be helpful if you could add a stub to your name servers, so that requests for things in the 2day.com zone are still resolved appropriately until the root servers catch up. This should reduce your customer support load relating to services hosted by 2day.com.

Sample stub for BIND8, mangle as appropriate.

--- snip --- zone "2day.com" { type stub; file "2day.com"; masters { 202.37.240.3; 198.32.66.4; 203.118.144.212; } }; --- snip ---
