Should be back up sometime tonight...
FYI, incase you host a domain with me and I do DNS for you...
You should have the following DNS entries at your domain registrar to make sure your email is sent to the backup mailserver.
PRIMARY Nameserver: NS1.FUZZYLINUX.NET
SECONDARY Nameserver: DNS.SECONDARY.ORG
It's important to make sure you use the two listed above, as NS1 and NS2 are both on the same internet connection and if the connection goes down, your email will not get sent to the backup server due to the fact that your mailserver cannot query DNS. (geek stuff)
IF your registrar allows a third name server...
TERTIARY Nameserver: NS2.FUZZYLINUX.NET
This will allow any incoming email to be spooled onto the backup mailserver rather than being bounced during an outage like this.
Any Questions,
hick@fuzzylinux.net
If you have no idea wether your websites DNS is hosted with me, just ask.
P.S. I won't get the mail until the mailserver comes back up ;) But it will get spooled and I will get it!
