This is the fastest response ML I am on, so I will bug you guys ;^)

Currently we have some dot org domains as clients who now have no A or
MX records cached locally so they cannot see their own websites, and are
having mail issues as well. After much checking, and testing, and server
log reviewing, we discovered this.

Go to dnsstuff.org and run a ALL query on *any* dot org domain.
Eventually the root server will refer to TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET, and nothing
but NS records are returned. If the root server refers to
AFILIAS-NST.org you get all records. We see this reslt for our client's
domains as well openoffice.org, slashdot.org, freebsd.org.

I called ultradns and they didn't seem too concerned, but said they
would look into it.

Am I crazy?

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
