[afnog] Re: listserv2.cfi.co.ug DNS

[Begumisa Gerald M]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for catching that.  We took down the spice.eahd.or.ug machine and
spice.eahd.or.ug. will temporarily resolve to the same IP address as
ip.cfi.co.ug. We're putting up another machine that will take up that name
(but with a different IP address).

The name server on ip.cfi.co.ug. was having a few issues.  I've taken care
of this (among other load issues).

Thanks again.

Gerald.
