semi-OT: DNS issues for python.org (re-send)

Hi all,
I'm seeing a lot of "lame server" messages from my name server
when trying to resolve mail.python.org and neither my name server
(devious.adversary.org) nor those of my upstream
(yarrina.connect.com.au & warrane.connect.com.au). In fact, one of my
upstream's caches (yalumba.connect.com.au) is locating what appears to
be invalid nameservers for python.org.

Yalumba believes python.org's nameservers are ns53.worldnic.com &
ns54.worldnic.com. While tracking back from UltraDNS points to
ns.xs4all.nl & ns2.xs4all.nl.

So does anyone know if there are currently any registration or
delegation issues with python.org or if they are seeing similar things
elsewhere?


Regards,
Ben

P.S. I tried to send this to the list a little while ago, but of
course my system is having trouble reaching it.

The python.org domain is in transition between CNRI and the PSF. I imagine
things will settle down in the next day or so.

Creepy. A whois search said that python.org wasn't registered....
Good thing Python's trademarked.

As a workaround, the web page is accessible at pythonlabs.com. Not
sure if mail is.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I half-suspected a re-delegation, but
it was difficult to tell without being able to resolve the web site to
check any announcements about that.

As it happened I was out for a few hours after posting the first time
and it appeared to be resolved by the early evening here (+1100
GMT/UTC). So just in time for the latest release too.
