Slave

I'd expected that to happen by now (another curiosity). The expiration is set for 
seven days and it's been weeks since I removed the zones from my servers and requested 
that my secondaries do the same (June 26th, I believe.)

Of course, the secondary in question, eaglecrest.jurisdata.com, is running Windows NT 
so who knows how Gates and Company have re-written the DNS rules and such. Microsoft 
is not known for adhering to Internet standards and RFCs.

Hmmm. that's an interesting idea...
