Looks like you may have a DNS problem.

clicky

Just out of curiosity, your domain name wasn't due to expire on July 1 ... was it?

as James pointed out, looks like there is a dns problem. Nome used to run his own hosting company but a korean company threw monay at him until he worked for them. Now his hosting service is very much his part-time hobby. I put up with the occasional problem because he doesn't charge me a cent.

nic.com indicates that the record expiry was was July 1, 2005.

There's a mirror of battyden.net on my server.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

hmm. why the two different dates?

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I know. thanks for doing that.

[hedgegoth.livejournal.com]

whois told me 2005 as well.

Could just be a delay in the name servers getting updated.

Ah, there's nought I can do to help them.

Worst case if your friend's machine is going to be down for a while is to point the domain at James' OD server since he has a mirror already setup. OD can be your primary DNS and HRF can be your secondary for DNS. A zone record is all that's needed on both boxes and a little Apache-fu on OD and it's a done deal.

CYa!

I'm just doing the vhost and zone files in preparation.

I don't yet have my DNS server running properly. Somewhere or other I've managed to block access to port 53.

[makovette.livejournal.com]

Should the need arise, feel free to hack a zone on HRF as necessary, I'm off to bed here. Hope things come back on line again soon for ya Batty.

CYa!

It's all just a big bugger.

exp. date is good for me now btw.

DNS is still out to lunch. Give it some time.

[jamesb]

Hopefully I'll get my DNS server running soon, but in the mean time I've created a battyden.net zone on HRF. If Batty's host and/or DNS hasn't returned by tomorrow, I'll create a secondary DNS on granitecanyon.com and he can switch over to my server.
