If I'm using this command right, it looks like they're a little late: [bridge@dublin doc]$ date -u Wed Jun 5 22:49:42 UTC 2002 [bridge@dublin doc]$ host -t soa com A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET Using domain server: Name: A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET Address: 192.5.6.30#53 Aliases:
com. SOA A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. NSTLD.VERISIGN-GRS.com. 2002060500 1800 900 604800 86400 In any case, that's a useful thing to know. Fortunately for us, the guy who controls our "new" name servers was decent enough to serve up our zones for 48 hours. Once the local dns caches flush out, I hope to emerge from under my desk.
