dns poison?

1/23/2009 9:05:39 AM

actually... my packet8 phone is not working either

The name sounds redundant, they should've gone with pack8.net

1/23/2009 9:35:14 AM

No problems with my phone...

1/23/2009 10:45:39 AM

i get domain parked page lol

looks like they fixed it but a lot of dns servers still have the cached version of the zone for some reason... they should have expired already, the ttl is 14400...

i just refreshed openDNS's cache of the zone so anyone on there should be fine now.
