Re: Earthlink's broken DNS affecting Tor nodes?

["Blackbeard" <blackbeardtor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just wanted to let the person with the Earthlink DNS issue know that apparently they set up some servers not doing the redirection:

http://blogs.earthlink.net/2006/09/more_info_on_dead_domain_handl.php

"As Dave mentioned last week, we've been working to tune the configuration of dead domain handling to address the issues some EarthLink customers have been experiencing during the rollout. We've been able to mitigate a number of issues, but we've also recognized that some of them such as certain problems with VPN access are not easily addressed through configuration changes in our dead domain system. For customers who are still experiencing issues, we've set aside a pair of servers that will remain outside of our standard DNS system. If you have a need to stay clear of our dead domain handling, just point your DNS servers to:

207.69.188.171 (west coast)

207.69.188.172 (east coast)

If you're west of the Mississippi, use the west coast DNS server as your primary and the east coast as secondary. And vice-versa for those of you in the eastern U.S.

This is a self-service solution, and it creates a mechanism for those users who choose to opt out to do so. These servers have been set aside to resolve problems you may be having, but this isn't something that you'll be able to get customer support help with."

Also, my appologies for some apparent format issues (and the sig problem) using excite on the list.  I will likely switch email accounts.
