[sf-lug] Notice: ns1.svlug.org downtime, DNS secondary

Sat Nov 13 23:47:19 PST 2021

Al,

Uhm, my records seem to indicate Al for registrant on sf-lug.com.
https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=sf-lug:resources_etc
... that's at least as of 2019-09-07T18:09:17Z.
I also show email of
     Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2020 22:10:38 -0700
where you apparently updated delegating NS records for sf-lug.com via
registrar
looks like it's been regularly renewed since reacquired
2019-09-07T18:09:17Z.

Tomorrow I may look into
switching to Gandi.net - they seem to have a pretty clean full

4) changed nameservers as requested:
sf-lug.com.: ns{0,1}.sunnyside.com. --> nsx.sunnyside.com.,  
nsy.sunnysidex.com.
