[freelists-users] DNS issues

I received a few emails about sparse troubles resolving 
"www.freelists.org," but those people had no trouble accessing 
"freelists.org."  This was just about the middle of last week.  Since I 
only heard from two people, and seeing this as an obvious DNS issue, I 
shrugged it off as "one of those things that'll be ok in 24 hours."   

For most people, it was just that, but it turns out that there really was 
a recurring DNS issue involving granitecanyon.com's DNS's.  I don't know 
what was wrong with them, and I honestly don't really want to-- they were 
just a backup to register.com's DNS setup anyway (they provide it for free 
for anyone who registers with them).  

So ns1 and ns2 .granitcanyon.com are no longer authoritative, and within a 
couple of days, no one should be seeing these "unable to resolve" 
problems.  If you do, please let me know. :)  

And to anyone looking to buy a domain name, I do recommend register.com -- 
they're a little more expensive than some, but providing permanent 
authoritative primary and secondary DNS for you is a very nice touch.
