Issue with APNIC DNS nameservers resolved
________________________________________________________________________


Dear colleagues

APNIC started to receive reports that our DNS nameservers were not
providing the expected answers for leaf node queries of delegated
domains after we upgraded our DNS server software on Tuesday 6 May.

After initial investigation, it was determined that the upgraded
software was the source of the problem. After contacting the vendor,
several quick-fix solutions were attempted, to no avail.

At 13:00, Friday 9 May, APNIC rolled back to the previous version of the
software, resolving the issue.

APNIC has advised the software vendor and requested escalation of the
problem while working with them to review the upgrade and seek a clear
resolution.

APNIC apologies for the interruption to our services.

Sincerely,

________________________________________________________________________

What is the Domain Redemption Period

What is the Domain Redemption Period?

The redemption period is a Domain Registry period of up to 30 days that occurs when a domain name is deleted after having expired renewed. Instead of just getting deleted and returning to the pool of domain names available for registration, the existing registry keeps a hold on the domain name in a what is technically called as REDEMPTION PERIOD. During this 30-day redemption period, the original domain registrant (owner of the domain) is allowed to retrieve the domain name from deletion by contacting their Registrar. This process costs an additional fee.

This extra 30-day period - redemption period - extends the time available to renew expired domain names by 30 days. However, all names that enter the redemption period are removed from the zone files in the global DNS, as a result, any Web site or email services associated with the domain name gone into redemption period will stop working and would appear off line.
