Have a guy that had this emailed from his ISP. If this is in fact true we all could have some very unhappy customers in the comming days. I haven't personally experienced any troubles yet form any customers but I plan to keep an eye out. I'd also be interested to see if anyone else can confirm this report or has further details. Greg ---------------------------------------------------------- Over the weekend the Internic, the registry that handles all .com, .org, and .net domain names, had a power outage. Allegedly, their backup generators actually made the situation worse, computers crashed, and data was lost. They won't officially admit to it, but word from some of the bigger ISPs is that approximately 18,000 domains were inadvertantly deleted. It seems to have mostly effected domains that were coming due for renewal in March. IF you have a domain name hosted with us, please check http://rs.internic.net/cgi-bin/whois to make sure it is still registered. If you have any questions, just reply to this email. ----------------------------------------------------------- +(Omni () Dynmc Net)------------------------------------------------------+ | Dynamic Networking Solutions InterX Technologies | | Senior Network Administrator bits/keyID 1024/7DF9C285 | | omni () interx net omni () itstudio net omni () undernet org omni () webpop3 com | +--------[ DC 50 57 59 C3 76 46 E8 EB 75 A8 94 FE 96 9E D3 ]----------+
