[BUGS] au.FreeBSD.org delegation. Anyone know Jarrod?

[John Marshall]

The au.FreeBSD.org zone is delegated to three Australian nameservers:

  ns1.downtools.com.au
  ns2.downtools.com.au
  ns1.riverwillow.net

I manage the third server, one of the slaves.  The first two servers are
maintained by Jarrod Sayers, who is also the maintainer of the zone file
(as hostmaster at au.FreeBSD.org).

The two downtools nameservers are out of action and I know of no way of
contacting Jarrod which doesn't involve the broken downtools.com.au
domain.  Does anyone on this list know Jarrod?  If so, would you please
send me his telephone number (off-list) or ask him to contact me on the
number below?

The au.freebsd.org domain disappeared from the Internet this morning
because the two downtools.com.au nameservers are not serving the zone
and the slave copy on our nameserver expired.  I have edited the slave
copy on our server, removed downtools.com.au references, and am serving
it as a master zone, so the au.FreeBSD.org domain is back on the
Internet on the only functioning delegated server: I am also serving it
on one of our other nameservers which I have added to the zone's NS
records.  I have emailed dnsadm@ to advise them of the situation: it may
be that they will seize the opportunity to claw back the au zone
delegation as part of the new infrastructure thingy.

If anyone has any clues as to Jarrod's whereabouts or wellbeing, it
would be helpful to know.

Thank you.
