DNS change

I think Daze.net (apparently the operators of DNS Central) is gone. I can't find a site associated with them that answers.

In any case I don't intend to wait for them. I just got onto the NuNames site, and now it seems NuNames offers its own DNS service. So I switched over to that.

I don't know how long it will take for propagation, but probably a few hours at least. (The acknowledgement email said 10 hours.) But as it's happening, if I'm here I should notice it because I'll start getting traffic that isn't references to the top rotation picture.

UPDATE: It's begun already. I just got a refer from ask.com. Looks like the NuNames DNS sent out the record almost immediately; the 10 hours is probably a conservative estimate for how long it takes to reach everyone.

2 I think I'll wait until tomorrow to switch the top rotation picture reference back to the URL.

3 Amusingly, dnscentral seems to be back up now and the nameservers are responding to queries.  My DNS server here at work seems to have cached the correct IP address for denbeste.nu after a successful query to the dnscentral nameservers.

4 Not my problem anymore. They are not my name servers any longer.

5 Oh yeah, I know.  I just find it amusing that they finally get it fixed as you move away from them.
