(Greetings from MidAmeriCon II in Kansas City.)
IP address 198.144.194.238 appears to be (or have been) the master nameserver for several domains...
zone balug.org zone e.9.1.0.5.0.f.1.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa zone sf-lug.org
...for which ns1.linuxmafia.com has been doing slave nameservice at your request. Today, I notice I'm getting AXFR problems:

I notice that 198.144.194.238 no longer responds to ping.
I notice that auth namservers for the three domains no longer include one that resolves to IP 198.144.194.238.
I notice ns1.linuxmafia.com is still in the authoritative roster for domain balug.org.
I notice ns1.linuxmafia.com is NOT any longer in the authoritative roster for domain sf-lug.org.
Accordingly, I am switching off slave nameservice for the three cited domains at this time. Please advise if you'd like me to resume slave nameservice for any of them, and from what master nameserver IP for each.
