Well Steve, I think you are screwed if your friend's domain is registered with Network Solutions. They are not timely with domain server IP updates in my experience. Last time I tried to do it (admittedly about a year or two ago), it took them three or four weeks to make it effective in their root servers. And in some cases it took six weeks. If possible, your friend could leave a machine on the old datacenter network with the current IP, and have it trust updates from the new DNS server. Then send in an update request to NSI, and pray that they'll change it soon. I really really hate NSI, needless to say. :-) --=20 wca --8P1HSweYDcXXzwPJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6YhClF47idPgWcsURAvWrAJ4qmd84766+L04Dc6h0dm6oizGtNgCgmAr1 q1x0p25/T76g5E1TKSxPG6s= =0PjV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8P1HSweYDcXXzwPJ-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
