[dns-wg] dnsmon / .org

[Joerg Schumacher <]

Hi!

Thanks for providing dnsmon.  I think it's a useful service.  Back on 
18.07.2003 our own monitoring showed some trouble reaching dns.denic.de.
Could be us, could be them.  dsnmon gave the answer:  it's not only us 
having the problem, so it's them.  ops@localhost confimed that the IOS 
upgrade on their DECIX routers caused the trouble.

Mind adding the nameservers for .ORG to the monitoring?  I'd be
interested in the effects of the recent change in the root zone.
Having only two nameservers for a tld and both of them in a single AS 
makes me kind of nervous.

Regards,
Joerg

    "[...] announced the implementation of a change that enables .ORG 
     names to resolve through web browsers worldwide within 5 minutes 
     [..] This change will enhance the speed of 
     registration/modification-to-resolution of .ORG names to less 
     than 5 minutes, from the previous average of 12-24 hours. [...]"

     makes me wonder if they'll also change the ttl of all NS record 
     in the org-zone to 5 minutes somewhere in the near future. Ouch!
