Chris also appears to be avidly following the IBM/Lotus DNS saga, and writes that there is news! (BTW, my joke plugin didn’t detect this change, because I didn’t expect it to happen any more. :-) )
The news? They’ve managed to get enough knowhow together to replace the whole resource record:
dig @cmtu.mt.ns.els-gms.att.net. developer.lotus.com
;; ANSWER SECTION:
developer.lotus.com. 300 IN A 192.147.107.27
Ah, great. So now it works?
Well, not quite:
If you go to http://developer.lotus.com/, you get a 403 error (Forbidden.) The HTML is a beaut, and full of lovely licensed material:
