Just so that you guys know, we're moving our primary DNS server IP address. You may experience some intermittant downtime over the next 48-72 hours. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Is there a layman's technical explaination? *Blinks*

PostPosted: **Sat Jun 10, 2006 3:49 pm**

How's this:

Due to the large number of computers that have to all work together on the internet, the "change of address" form we filed for our server may take a while to circulate.

Is that any better?

PostPosted: **Sat Jun 10, 2006 4:20 pm**

Sure. Why the address change?

PostPosted: **Sat Jun 10, 2006 5:04 pm**

CAA has filled up my internet pipe, so I had to buy another one. I've moved everything else off this line so it can be dedicated to just CAA traffic.

Ooooh that's great! ^_^ (That the site is doing so well, not that it filled your internet pipeline. XD )

Aahh, ok, that makes more sense. I kept wondering what was going on, but I'm glad to have the IP, since I was stranded without CAA for about a day. Oh, the horror! :lol:

Question: I type in http://www.christiananime.net...and it says it doesn't even exist...will there be a new address too? :/

yea, the domain name doesn't work for me at all, i got on via the IP from when we had to use it a while ago:

http://66.92.1.159/

and some of the functions don't seem to work, like view new posts etc.

am guessing its still because of the DNS move. will it be the same DNS when its up & running again?

PostPosted: **Mon Jun 12, 2006 7:12 pm**

Yeah... There seems to be a propigation issue on the internet. I'm looking into it right now. This makes no sense to me, though, honestly.

PostPosted: **Mon Jun 12, 2006 7:47 pm**

Update: OK. I think I've got it figured out now. We should be working fine within a few hours (well, up to 24 hours).

HOORAH FOR CODE MONKEY SAMA!!
YOU ROCKET MITHSAMA!! :hug:

PostPosted: **Mon Jun 12, 2006 11:17 pm**

Looks like we're propigating, so I *think* we'll be OK by tomorrow sometime. Keep trying the real address and let me know if you can get through.

Thanks!

I tried the real address a few minutes ago, and all I got was the "problem loading page/cannot connect to server" screen.

PostPosted: **Tue Jun 13, 2006 1:43 pm**

As of 3:43PM CDT, still no cigar.

PostPosted: **Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:00 pm**

2:00 PST no dish man, still using the 66.92 site

PostPosted: **Tue Jun 13, 2006 3:10 pm**

yea 23:10 GMT here. and still no luck with the domain name.

PostPosted: **Tue Jun 13, 2006 11:24 pm**

Okay, ~11pm Pacific time, I was unable to successfully resove the domain name. The dnsstuff tool gave me a working ip, though, and I've thrown it in my hosts file for now.

Interestingly enough, my work connection was able to resolve it just fine today.

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 1:57 am**

3:57AM CDT, no go. However, I got the "Address Not Found" page quicker than usual, if that means anything.

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 6:11 am**

At 0810 CDT I was able to connect, and I was unable to connect through the regular route about 5 minutes ago. It does appear to be working (here, at least).

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 6:26 am**

hmm. here i still cant get teh domain name to work, GMT 14:26

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 7:08 am**

04:10 Central African Time. Domain doesn't work, though I get strange pictures of chocoate brownies. That's not right, I suppose.

PS: the brownie-thing's a joke, off course.

I just thought this thread needed some chocolate.

AHHH THEY'RE EVERYWHERE

A-hem... yes the main url is still unoperational

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:30 am**

I live in CST...and I can't get it as of 12:30 CST

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:35 am**

Hmm, it worked at home, but as of 1235 CDT the primary address doesn't work at my university.

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 11:34 am**

2:30 EST and still not working.

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 11:36 am**

2:36PM, eastern time. The IP works again, but I'm not getting anything with the regular domain name.

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 1:08 pm**

IP only at 1:07 on Wednesday.

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 2:12 pm**

Instead of telling you that it doesn't work, I'd just like to thank you for having the alternate address. It is good to be able to communicate with some of the people I don't regularly connect with through other channels. We know you're working on a solution and we can be patient until then.

PostPosted: **Wed Jun 14, 2006 2:21 pm**

I want to echo what UC said. Sorry I didn't mention that in my previous post. I was very glad to find that we could still use the backup IP. I have a lot of friends on the Bump Thread and life gets boring without them. XD
