Mark,
we have moved some of the connections to the new registry pool of connections
today. We got clearance earlier in the day for this from Verisign registry,
and finished move around 3 PM.
Unfortunately (trying to be political here, OK?), it appears there have been
miscommunication between Verisign's Customer Service group and their
Operations. Operations have not been notified that we are approved for access
to this separate pool of connection, and started blocking us around 6:15 PM.
After clarifying what's happening, and since it seemed we cannot get
resolution of access rights at the spot, we've switched back to old
connection pool. Our access rights should be restored before or around next
morning. Hopefully, any further connections switch should be transparent to
you.
Not everyone would have noticed this, only resellers that are using separate
LookupProxy.
Let me reiterate: this was not a Tucows fault, we played completely by rules.
Regards,
Zeljko Dimic,
OpenSRS Developer.
