To recap, originally, VA Software was hosting `linuxia64.org' and dealing with all of the details associated with the domain name itself. When VA changed their product focus (and laid me off in the process) they still provided hosting for `linuxia64.org'. A couple of months ago VA moved their computer center and in the process somehow lost the DNS entry for `linuxia64.org'. When Matthew Wilcox pointed this out I contacted VA and asked them to fix this. My understanding was that they were working on the problem and it would be fixed soon. Imagine my surprise when I checked today and discovered that, although a DNS entry for `linuxia64.org' is back, it doesn't point to VA. It looks like VA let the registration lapse and some company called Speed Edge Technologies has hijacked our domain. I've attached the email I just sent to VA trying to find out what happened but I don't know that there's much we can do about it now. My guess is that the best we can do is register a new name and try and find a more reliable host for it. Again I apologize, it's my fault. I was guilty of misplaced loyalty to a former employer and a hope that people would do their job. Looks like I was wrong. -- Don Dugger "Censeo Toto nos in Kansa esse decisse." - D.

My understanding is that VA Software was hosting the `linuxia64.org' domain and that there were problems in your DNS configuration and I was waiting to let you resolve them. Now I discover that on 4/14/04 some company in Houston, TX has registered `linuxia64.org' and hijacked our domain. Would you mind telling me what happened?
