You know when you go to check something on your site, and the site isn’t there anymore. You know that feeling? Well I do, or should I said I did. I pinged my domain. Nothing. NSlookup. Nothing. So, does this mean that the server seized up? Maybe, but it hasn’t completely jammed on me since I installed Rebound. And dammit, the IP responds fine. Hmmm. I can’t check the primary name server to see if that’s the problem, because it’s still without a connection back in my basement at home. I check the secondary name server instead. The zone record is there, but I can’t view the data. Click. It all comes back to me like getting a gym bag full of Lego dropped on my head. All of the secondary information was set to expire after seven days (as it should) and today is the eighth day since the primary server went dark. There’s no domain information in the zones to view, and therefore nothing for other servers to look at. Damn. I guess I’ll be rebuilding a bunch of zone records this morning. Here’s hoping that the hairy-knuckled technician scheduled to wrangle the new DSL into place is still coming tomorrow. This is getting positively lugubrious.
