DNS and down time.

Wow. I transferred primary dns servers for soapbox.co.nz from ns[1-3].snap.net.nz to ns[16,18].zoneedit.com midday (I posted not longer after I did it). It now resolves through zoneedit. How is it did it this time, but every other time it's been a nightmare mission? (Involving days of waiting)

Anyway, thewall.pftqg.com (203.79.110.59), and thus my network, will be offline from about an hour from now until sometime no more than 6hours later. Cable provider is doing network upgrades apprarantly. I'll probably use some of that time to move cables around in that corner of my habitat. I've decided not to move primary routing off lila and on to arnold though - really if I have to run a local dns to keep websites running on lila, it's not worth it, Lila being the faster beast and all. I should really have got more ram now, but what am I going to do?

So anyway, glad primary mail for @ pftqg.com goes through zoneedit.com - I've got essential addy's routed to a sepearate (albeit pop3) account, and as appropriate other addy's I manage rerouted.

So here's hoping downtime goes smoothly... I'm not going to bother redirecting website traffic. I'll just cope without my stylesheet, and other people can just cope for the duration.
