- Ok, here's the story.
- ref.tfs.com is part nominally of the tfs.com tree of nodes
- however it differs in that it is on the OUTSIDE of our gateway to make
- it available to you guys.
- Gateway.tfs.com has been notified of the new machine "REF"
- but our secondary nameservers (who are also authorised to be authorative)
- are nc.cs.berkeley.edu and jade.berkeley.edu
- Unfortunatly I cannot convince anyone at berkeley that their
- nameservers are not picking up the information about the new machine
- from our nameserver. (despite a new serial number)
-
- If you are unlucky enough to be directed to one of the berkeley
- nameservers they don't know about ref.
-
- end of story.
-
- also ref crashes sometimes (or just freezes waiting on buffers)
- in which case I can't reboot it if I'm at home, so
- sometimes it's out of service for a few hours.
