[BALUG-Admin] AXFR failures from 198.144.194.238

[Rick Moen]

(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.
