        Is this related to not getting a connect from the dial-up server
earlier today?

  DNS changes seem to have propagated successfully now -- I telnetted in
  without difficulty today using the hostname..  nslookup shows DNS pointing
  to the new address.

This isn't a new address, and this wasn't related to the renumbering.  It
was a simultanious failure of all four DNS servers Grex uses, which are in
different locations with different network connectivity and run by different
people.  The one I run had a failure that I don't think could have been
related to problems on any of the others, so this may just have been a strange
and unlikely coincidence.

There are only 3 registered nameservers for grex.org:

Same for cyberspace.org:

As is probably obvious, Grex is off the net.  From what little I 
can determine, it looks like the kludged-together routing, which was
part of the kludged-together temporary ISDN connection, fell apart.
Packets from MSU to grex.cyberspace.org are going into Verio-land and
stopping at "blackrose."  

My guess is that the proper way to fix this is to do the long-overdue
IP renumbering which is a part of moving to the DSL connection.

the dsl line is up, and I can reach the dsl router from the
rest of the internet.  I sent grex staff a copy of their
usable ips today...

        I wondered why only 2 new responses since noon today.
(I am the only one on right now).

Quiet, though.  Many people have forgotten how to dial in, I guess.

I'll try to call Jan and/or srw and see if we can ram this renumbering through
right quick.

It's done, finally.  Steve Weiss (srw) and I managed (with Janc's earlier
research) to get Grex renumbered and hooked up to the DSL line.

Probably there will be a few odd things that still need fixing.

re 153:
        Grex itself is the fourth DNS server, and is the master for Grex's
zones.  It's not listed with the NIC to take some load off it, but I was
including it in my count of four.

Thanks for doing the renumbering.  This connection feels nice and fast now.

Yes indeed -- quite zippy compared to what it was.

(but upgradable all the way to 1.5M by sending more money to the ISP and
having them change some settings)

I have verified that still can't establish a connection to grex using
cyberspace.org   Both grex.org and grex.cyberspace.org work.

I'm glad that the DSL line is nice and speedy...but the dialins have been
really draggy slow.

This morning it was broken:
---------------------------

>nslookup grex.org
Server:  aadnsmstr.fame.com
Address:  192.88.65.103

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** aadnsmstr.fame.com can't find grex.org: Non-existent domain


This afternoon someone must have fixed it:
------------------------------------------

>nslookup grex.org
Server:  aadnsmstr.fame.com
Address:  192.88.65.103

Name:    grex.org
Address:  216.93.104.34

grex.cyberspace.org, dns.gibbard.org, and puck.nether.net are responding
correctly for grex.org.  vixa.voyager.net is timing out, but assuming it's
got correct information too you shouldn't have any problem connecting. If you
do, and if vixa.voyager.net is either not responding or responding correctly,
talk to your DNS administrator.
