Greetings! This is an advisory about ns1.linuxmafia.com DNS nameserver
downtime having ended. Root cause: AT&T (_not_ my ISP) sabotaged
my ASDL at their local exchange around 8am Tueday, then took about
2 days and 7 hours to find and fix their problem. All services
are back.
ns1.linuxmafia.com is back to doing auth. nameservice, as
arranged, for the following domains of yours:
balug.org (slave)
sf-lug.com (slave)
sf-lug.org (slave)
Evidence below is via fugly shell script ~/bin/testns that
I just cranked out:
#!/bin/bash
domain=$1
for ns in $(whois $domain | grep "Name Server" | \
awk '{ print $3 }' | tr '\r\n' ' ');
do echo -n $ns 'is '; dig +short @"$ns". $domain. SOA | awk '{print $3}';
done

NS1.BALUG.ORG is 1540540908

DO NOT REPLY ALL! (*unless* you're a member of **both** lists)
Just an FYI mostly, but temporarily we have a bit of reduced
redundancy on DNS for balug.org/sf-lug.org/sf-lug.com
Expecting this to be relatively temporary (at least once AT&T finally
gets their sh*t together ... at least for a little bit).
Anyway, in case anyone wonders or notices. Hopefully it will
be *all better soon* ... at least **relatively** soon.
Impacts should mostly be pretty minimal - some initial queries might
occasionally take a bit longer (possibly timing out on first
(randomly selected) authoritative nameserver), but should otherwise
generally have almost zero impact (due to TTLs, data will generally
be cached for a while once successfully resolved).
$ (for d in balug.orgsf-lug.orgsf-lug.com; do dig +noall +answer
+nottl "$d". NS | sed -e 's/[ ]\{1,\}/ /g'; done) | fgrep
linuxmafia.combalug.org. IN NS ns1.linuxmafia.com.
sf-lug.org. IN NS ns1.linuxmafia.com.
sf-lug.com. IN NS ns1.linuxmafia.com.

Greetings! This is an advisory about current downtime of my
ns1.linuxmafia.com DNS nameserver, starting about 8am on Tuesday, Oct.
23rd. Near and I and Mike Durkin, proprietor of Raw Bandwidth
Communications ('RBC', my ISP) have been able to determine, AT&T somehow
sabotaged my household ASDL, and thus took my entire household including
the server online. Mike is now trying to get them to fix they screw-up.
Meantime, ns1.linuxmafia.com is _not_ doing auth. nameservice, as
arranged, for the following domains of yours:
balug.org (slave)
sf-lug.com (slave)
sf-lug.org (slave)
I'm advising everyone I'm doing auth. DNS for of the ongoing outage,
so this is your notice. Hope to give better news soon.
