Nope. The issue is that the glue record SLD1.WORLDROOT.NET has the wrong IP address on it (198.180.140.223) in the gtld-servers.net servers and there is no way that I can change it since Network Solutions has a broken website that doesn't show any glue records unless they were created on their website. Our domains were originally created at another registrar and apparently Network Solutions can't handle that.

We were dumped into Network Solutions against our will by the myriad of mergers (Dotster -> some other company -> Network Soltions). I could move them but transferring 50 domains is a PITA. Same problem with data centers. Hivelocity abandoned its Chicago and Miami customers. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Morrow via NANOG <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2026 17:24 To: North American Network Operators Group <[email protected]> Cc: John R.
