 OK Groovers,

 The DNS has been set up so now london.pm.org is penderel.state51.co.uk as
 outlined below.


The only problem with this is that the http server doesnt appear to be
running at the moment and there is no-one alive on #london.pm who has a
login - could someone who can kick the server into life and check the
content is up to date.

Strictly speaking, that isn't the _only_ problem :)

The version of the website is at least a month out of date and the 
last time I looked the webserver on Penderel was set up differently to
the hfb one. In order to get it working, one of two things need to 
happen. Either the Apache configuration needs to change so that .cgi
files in any directory are executed (this is how hfb worked) or I need
write access to the cgi-bin directory.

As a short term-fix, just getting the pages from hfb would work - I 
could fix up the SSI and CGI stuff later.

Cheers,

Dave...

 We'll get the first person to turn up in the channel who has root to 
 fix this :)

If you need the password for the login on hfb, just SMS me on 07973

 Does anyone have any feelings to delegating the DNS to servers under our
 own control at some juncture ?

/me volunteers.

I appear not to have fscked up djbdns on my box.  I did, of course, test
it with Someone Elses Domain :-)  Haven't figured out how to do zone
transfers yet, but I'm sure it can't be difficult.

 I'll be happy to provide secondary - box is in Mailbox's

I can provide another secondary, if needed... ns.kieser.net (possibly) or ns.3drevolution.net (definitely). Also not a bad hand at setting up DNS servers :-)

Granitecanyon? The boxes that are chronically down? Which resulted in me
getting mail from the domain registry telling me to get a working nameserver
up with thein week or they might yank the domain? Where noone seems to care
about support.

Granitecanyon -- where You Get What You Pay For. IMO, at least.

(What use is a place where you can put anything you like in your zone files
if the things are down half the time?)

I haven't had any problems with them, but I don't use them as primaries.

What you get is redundancy in the DNS. If they're down, so what?
