Ah, good ... glad you caught that bit. :-) Yeah, I can understand heck of a lot going on. (Mom, stroke, whole bunch 'o stuff precipitated out from that ... still recovering from my 2 week anti-vacation + similar rather recently before that ... still playing catch-up and handling of miscellaneous gunk ... e.g. have a car to sell off too - and in the meantime nothin' but street parking for it - which is yet another annoying inconvenience and thing to do and keep an eye on).
From: "Rick Moen" rick@linuxmafia.com Subject: Re: [BALUG-Admin] Why_ should ns1.linuxmafia.com be doing secondary nameservice (for balug.org.), given that you aren't including it in the authoritative list? Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 21:55:43 -0700
Quoting Michael Paoli (Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu):
Your option on balug.org., to be or not be slave at this time. I explained the situation earlier. Notably it's part of migration strategy off of DreamHost.Com. - but we're not there yet (still have to get the dang lists migrated). See the earlier explanation again here (now for the 3rd time ;-)) ... note particularly the bit that starts with "If you'd prefer, for balug.org, could also" ...
OK, thanks.
What I failed to do before was add a note about that to the named.conf.local entry. I've now fixed that omission. Thank you for your indulgence.
(There's been a heck of a lot going on, and I evidently failed to read those couple'a paragraphs in your explanation on Aug. 22nd.)
