[AusNOG] MelbourneIT DNS Issues

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

If it's a .com.au, you can simply request the registry key from the
registry directly:
http://whois.ausregistry.com.au/password_recovery/recover_password.jsp?tab=0

Then put the transfer in to a more reputable registrar (aka synergy, being
the only non-shit one left now?), and a few days later you're good to go :)

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
