[Clfs-support] Problems with the clfs.org domain

[Justin R. Knierim]

Hello!

Thanks for the info.  Interesting, this is the first I've heard of 
anyone having issues resolving clfs.org.  There was a maintenance from 
Dec 13-14 on the openstack system that clfs.org is hosted on, but 
otherwise systems should be all working normally.

I couldn't reproduce the nameservers being ns*.clfs.org:

justin at iroh:~$ dig +short NS clfs.org
ns3.dreamhost.com.
ns1.dreamhost.com.
ns2.dreamhost.com.

But checking the whois info, it does seem to have some old entries in 
there.  I've updated them now, so in the next 4-24 hours whois should 
have proper entries.  If you see further issues after that please let me 
know!

Justin
