Nearly ready to start the major DNS changes to kick off last stages of
migration of BALUG.org away from DreamHost.com hosting.

This should mostly be highly seamless except ...
for the domains themselves:
www.balug.org
balug.org
lists.balug.org
There may be some minor issues/discrepancies apparent, as for a while,
(up to about 24 hours, due to DNS TTLs) those DNS names may go to either
the old legacy DreamHost.com hosting, or the new "hosting" (self-hosted
VM).
There are also a fair number of DreamHost.com hosting specific DNS names
that will be going away or changing - but those changes should
effectively pass without notice or detectable impact (e.g.:
www.mailboxes.balug.org.
ftp.balug.org.
mysql.balug.org.
etc.)
Note also that at the present time,
lists.balug.org. is (temporarily) deprecated - so don't expect
it to work yet (but it will be revived to full functionality again
in near future, as it will replace temp.balug.org which will be
phased out over suitable adjustment period).

If you notice any more significant issues, certainly feel free to
contact me.
