Tuesday the 21st (tomorrow) we will be performing maintenance of the 
peering infractructure between OpenNIC and FurNIC.  The maintenance 
window will be scheduled between 15:00-22:00 UTC but the actual changes 
should begin appearing sometime around 16:00 UTC.

While we do not anticipate this change will cause any outages of the 
FurNIC zones, there is always the possibility of an issue.  The update 
to the root zone should go smoothly, and then the opennic.glue zone 
should be updated within the next hour.  However there are a number of 
scripts which make use of the TXT data in the glue zone for creating 
their own support files and that is where I foresee the most likely 
problems will lie.  The maintenance window is scheduled for a period 
when we can keep an eye on things and make repairs as needed.

If you happen to see an outage of FurNIC or spot some other issue, 
please let us know on IRC (shdwdrgn or ph3-der-loewe) or here on the 
mailing list, and we will attempt to correct the problem as quickly as 
possible.
