Looking up the NS for Squeak.org:
squeak.org. 259200 IN NS a.ns.squeakfoundation.org. squeak.org. 259200 IN NS b.ns.squeakfoundation.org.
And then to IP addresses:
a.ns.squeakfoundation.org has address 85.10.195.197 b.ns.squeakfoundation.org has address 69.72.148.198
The next step is grab whois data for these IPs. The first one is active at Hetzner:
inetnum: 85.10.192.0 - 85.10.207.255 netname: HETZNER-RZ-NBG-NET descr: Hetzner Online AG descr: Datacenter Nuernberg
but the second one points to Nirvana. Strange but true, that IP doesn’t seem to be allocated (an enclosing block is allocated, but that’s all):
FortressITX FORTRESSITX (NET-69-72-128-0-1) 69.72.128.0 - 69.72.255.255
I guess that someone (and yes, that might very well have been, unknowingly, me ;-)) ran an NS on an ISP that went out of business, and thus the IP block came back for reallocation. As I still own squeakfoundation.org, I can repoint that. If anyone knows a spot where we can setup secondary DNS, preferably for free, ping me. Else, I’ll do some digging around to see where I can park it. I will probably need access to the primary DNS (do we still have a Hetzner host), will shout for help :-)
I could probably provide a slave dns.
Both box3.squeak.org and box4.squeak.org have a DNS server installed, but they are not synchonized with box2 (our primary name server). The plan was to host the two DNS servers on box3 and box4 (box4 as primary I guess), but I suspect that they are both in the same data center, so we could use a third server somewhere else.
Also, I don't know whether this hold for .org, but for .de, the IPs for the (at least) two DNS servers have to be in different A-ranges.
