SF-LUG - DNS (sf-lug.org. not presently operational ; then operational ; then ...)

(entire thread below)

     SF-LUG.{com,org} is currently under the thumb
of Network Solutions.
     My primary objection to netsol is its over-the-top
emails and offers of services as well as its policy
of protecting its control of our (in this case) DNS
stuff. I want to move it to joker.com. Netsol will
make me jump through objectional hoops to do so.
     I'll be grateful for any attention others can give
to spur me on through this unpleasant prospect.
     Actions that help me include nagging ("you done
yet?") and advice ("you're doing it wrong") on a
frequent basis. I may need technical or other help
(and may not).

Jim,

Hmmmm, looks like it's now working again:
$ (n=41; while [ "$n" -le 42 ]; do echo "@ns$n.worldnic.com. 
sf-lug.org.:" $(dig @ns"$n".worldnic.com. -t A sf-lug.org. +short); 
n=$(expr "$n" + 1); done)
