[BlueOnyx:06381] Re: Disappearing DNS

[Alan Kline]

For some reason, the admin GUI at Verio, the registrar, insists that the 
zone file point to their nameservers, and my zone file there had been 
changed to reflect that. After several attempts, I finally got it to 
change to show the correct nameservers, and I'm waiting for it to propagate.

I'm also checking the issues that Chris raised...

Thanks...
Alan
