I was noticing that my nightly rsync run was complaining that it couldn't
resolve "rsync.spamassassin.org". After a little digging, it turns
out that all the public servers return SERVFAIL for queries, and then I
found aha, the zone information has expired. With the zone machine move
recently, the primary/hidden dns server that runs on the SpamAssassin
zone changed IP, so all the secondaries lost contact. The main issue
is that our updates system went offline (*.updates.spamassassin.org). :(
I've updated the config on my server so at least one of the public
machines is serving data again. I'll send mail out to the other 2 people
providing DNS service and ask them to update their configs as well.
Should we consider moving this DNS to be hosted using the same setup as
*.apache.org?
