Subject: [opennic-dns-operations] Notice to all servers that are failing the oss/parody zones

About 15 hours ago, a large number of servers (both Tier-2 and Tier-2)
began failing to resolve the OSS and Parody zones. Most likely you are
not receiving the zone updates, and your local file has expired.

The master server for this zone is 216.87.84.210. It was changed last
year from 216.87.84.214, and I just removed the extra firewall rules
over the weekend.

PLEASE - this is why it is important to keep up with notifications on
the mailing list or manually verify your DNS information periodically.
The tier-1 servers can and do occasionally change IP addresses. If you
are manually entering a list of master servers for each TLD zone, the
best practice is to list *all* of the T1 servers for each zone, ensuring
your best chance to always remain up to date with the latest files.
