M9312 boot/console PROM archive

[Bruce Lane]

	I've just run some more checks, and the fault does not appear to be in my DNS, or any of the local DNS boxen. The fact that you were able to access it OK last night, Lyle, appears to have been a temporary condition.

	The IP address of www.AK6DN.com comes back as 64.202.167.129. However, a reverse lookup of that same IP address returns this: ip-64-202-167-129.secureserver.net. Plugging the IP directly into a browser returns a generic Internet search page.

	A domain lookup for ak6dn.com reveals that he's drawing DNS from 'jomax.net' (owned by GoDaddy Software), and that the DNS boxen involved are 'park1.jomax.net' and 'park2.jomax.net.' Both servers are responding to ping as of 08:57 PST on Nov. 6th, but neither one appears to be answering DNS queries. This is what I got when I tried.

willy: {6} nslookup www.ak6dn.com park1.jomax.net
*** Can't find server name for address 64.202.165.106: Non-existent host/domain
*** Default servers are not available
willy: {7} nslookup www.ak6dn.com park2.jomax.net
*** Can't find server name for address 64.202.167.145: Non-existent host/domain
*** Default servers are not available
willy: {8}

	My conclusion is that GoDaddy is having some sort of trouble with their DNS, and that the problem should clear up as soon as they get it corrected. I will take the liberty of notifying them that there appears to be an issue (the fact that I've got my domains registered with them should help).

	Keep the peace(es).
