ciphergoth.org domain fucked

[ciphergoth]

I tried to move ciphergoth.org to my own nameserver. Well, either GANDI or Network Solutions have fucked up, because now the domain (and its friends) doesn't seem to exist at all.

Bah.

People seem to have this bizarre belief that DNS changes and nameserver changes take effect immediately. I really don't know where they get it from. My experience is that it can take up to a week for changes to trickle across the entire Internet.

I remember telling the folks at infidels.org this, and they flat out refused to believe me, because their "expert" told them otherwise. Oh well, they found out.

I expected the change to take time to take effect. But I had expected that when you did an NS query on ciphergoth.org, you'd get either the old records or the new. Not an authoritative declaration that the domain flat-out didn't exist.

I'm guessing that Network Solutions have to remove the domain from their database before Gandi can add it to theirs.

If I had to guess which organization was more likely to have fucked up, the answer would be Network Solutions, hands down.

Gandi are keeping control of the domain; all I've asked them to do is change which nameservers are associated with it from their own to mine.

But yes, I agree with your second paragraph absolutely.
