Jeff,

Thanks for the response, this IP address has been a permanent addition to the server's related network topology; it is part of a redundancy plan that was put in place some time ago for this exact reason.

Being that this is currently the only server for OpenNIC dns services I operate, and users normally use at least 2 dns servers for standard lookup procedures, I assume no one electing to use my server has even noticed.  Because bigger is usually better when discussing DNS, I can only perceive this as a benefit to the community.

Thank you for explaining how the new automated tier 2 list works, I was already aware.  Assuming you included that information for the same reason I suggested listing the redundant ip address of the server, I ask that you please reconsider your decision for including the 208.125.2.59 address in your published list of Tier2 severs available.

Thanks,

mike--

Technically, I am requesting a second listing while apologizing for my outage at the same time. I expect the link to be back up in the next couple weeks (fffffff-) the primary address for the server is 74.212.172.171 the alternate address is 208.125.2.59 < this IP should be added, not replace the above address. In response to recent dialogue regarding server hardware and links, I am using Business Class links or better for both addresses and server hardware is not "off-the-shelf" / bargain / throw-away hardware. The dns server runs on a virtual machine with sister guests that are serving enterprise sites/software. Thank you for your time and understanding, I am sorry for not submitting the secondary IP earlier. mike--
