Dave,


for the list, in response to the guy knocking NSI for being quite about 
the outage:


> On Wednesday night, July 16, during the computer-generation of the
> Internet top-level domain zone files, an Ingres database failure resulted
> in corrupt .COM and .NET zone files.  Despite alarms raised by Network
> Solutions' quality assurance schemes, at approximately 2:30 a.m. (Eastern
> Time), a system administrator released the zone file without 
regenerating the
> file and verifying its integrity.  Network Solutions corrected the
> problem and reissued the zone file by 6:30 a.m. (Eastern Time).
>
> Thank you.
