I occasionally notice that my postings get lost. This may or may not coincide with situations where http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/ is dead and squeakfoundation disappears from DNS. What do you think ?
nslookup basically works:
Well, there are people who will disagree with that statement (they will tell you that nslookup doesn't work, is braindead broken, and that you should use dig or something else).
However, that's beside the point. What I'm wondering about is that you're using the plural - 'coincide with situations'. As you may remember from ye good ol'days, I take my job as provider quite serious. I know about the mishap from today/yesterday, but does this happen more often? I can hardly imagine it (we're monitoring our nameservers round the clock, and short of applying nuclear artillery I wouldn't know of a way to interrupt Above.net's connectivity), but if you think that squeakfoundation.org's availibility is anywhere below 99.something percent, I'd like to hear.
BTW: a 36 hour outage of a domain should not cause mail loss. At least not with correctly implemented MTA's, I dunnow about Exchange.
