[AusNOG] centos.org

[Ross Annetts]

 As long as it is in a transfer state the name servers cannot be updated, for a .org domain this is typically 5 days. Though it’s possible to expedite the process if the sending registrar releases the domain. 

 Looking at the whois information is likely redhat have taken administrative control over the domain.

 I gave redhat a courtesy call but couldn’t get passed their CS reps so hopefully they have someone on list.

 Once these DNS changes have finished propagating (all hell breaks loose), I’m sure right people will notice or be notified.

 If you don’t want to be affected I’d recommend creating a master zone for centos.org based on the current caches on Google’s resolvers and deploying this to your own resolvers if you can do so, until they have set the name servers again.
