[Cc-webedit] Website/email downtime

[Jon Leighton]

Hi all,

The website may be down for some people, in some places.

Here's what happened.

I arranged with nologic to transfer the domain, as part of the email
system migration. This has happened. However, the domain was still
configured to use name servers which nologic control, hence which we
can't configure ourselves. So I copied the DNS setting to the
registrar's name servers, and then switched the domain to point to the
registrar's name servers.

However, it has just emerged that when changing the name server, the
registrar reset all the DNS settings to their default values, without
telling me, hence wiping the settings which I previously configured.

So now the change is starting to propagate, and the wrong settings are
being used.

This has the effect of making the website unreachable to some people, as
the settings are in the midst of propagating. It may also mean that some
mail servers have tried to deliver mail to the wrong mail server (the
default 123-reg mail server), which has presumably returned a fatal
error stating that the mailbox is unknown.

I've fixed the problem, but it will take another little while (6-24
hours) to propagate properly.

Sorry about this, it's a bit of a fuck-up, and I tried to make sure the
transition was seamless! :/

Jon
