[Imc-tech] Re: [Imc-web] Website down?

[Zachary C. Miller]

che is not our primary, it is our secondary. 

And as far as I can tell this snafu isn't actually affecting anyone
except people who are explicitly relying on che as their DNS server. I
mean the whole point of DNS is that the primary or secondary should be
able to go down and it shouldn't be a big deal because the other one
is up. Since colo is still up and since it's our master/primary
there's really no problem (unless colo goes down).

I think Sascha's problems were due to either trying to work at OJC or
simply having some OJC DNS server IPs hardcoded or something like
that. I have had no problems and no one else has reported problems
with our DNS. Sascha can you confirm?

It is a wakeup call that I need to take our domains off of your
servers but it isn't the end of the world.
