[BALUG-Admin] [DO NOT REPLY ALL! ...] resolved: reduced DNS redundancy: balug.org/sf-lug.org/sf-lug.com: Fwd: ns1.linuxmafia.com downtime

[Michael Paoli]

DO NOT REPLY ALL! (*unless* your sending/from email address is
a member of **both** lists)

And, as of bit earlier today, this appears to be resolved.
$ (for d in balug.org sf-lug.org sf-lug.com; do dig +short  
@ns1.linuxmafia.com. "$d". SOA; done)
ns1.balug.org. hostmaster.balug.org. 1539410478 9000 1800 1814400 86400
ns1.sf-lug.org. jim.well.com. 1539414019 10800 3600 1209600 86400
ns1.sf-lug.com. jim.well.com. 1539912794 10800 3600 1209600 86400
