dmesg.printk.net cannot see that Verisign box an it is running a bind
without forwarders so unless one of the other admins already implemented
my plan of blackholing Verisign then I think the service is down.
This just confuses people even more as the error message seen by an end
user becomes more cryptic. I mailed Verisign yesterday to say I shall no
longer recommend them as a CA to clients and will be blackholing them.

I will configure the bind patch when I get some time tonight or tomorrow
and test it out. Anyone else think it is worth me/whoever writing a HOWTO?

Cheers,

Jon.
