NSI/VeriSign propogating incorrect DNS glue records

Sat Feb 16 12:50:24 UTC 2002

Move the domains elsewhere (e.g., if NS1.EXAMPLE.COM is bogus, move 
EXAMPLE.COM elsewhere). Once you do that, NSI isn't in charge of 
*.EXAMPLE.COM glue records any more, and you can have your new 
registrar correct them - in most cases, quite quickly and easily.

It may not solve your "last-minute" issue, but the reality is that 
convincing NSI to behave responsibly should be the next Olympic sport.
