Gandi.net Groups

I had a disturbing experience today: I went into the DNS edit page for a
domain with custom DNS, and in order to do anything, I had to first
switch the domain to the new Gandi servers.  When I did that, it
propogated to the .org top level servers right away (amazingly
quickly... I guess they don't update just twice a day any more).
But a.dns.gandi.net and the other two don't have the domain yet!  That's
been true for about two hours now.

Does anyone know how often those new servers update?  If that's not it,
then the configuration must just not have "clicked"... and I'll stop
getting mail in a few hours when the old cached records expire.

(I tried reporting this to Customer Care, but I'm not sure if it worked
or not - there's no "your message has been sent" feedback or anything,
it just dropped me back to the FAQ page)

Curious whether anyone else has had this problem.

ns6 (used as a free secondary NS) also seems to be updating very slowly.
 Fortunately the TLD servers and whois are updating just fine, so I
moved my domains to my own nameservers while I wait to see what's wrong
with Gandi DNS.

(If only my home ISP hadn't cached the bad NS records...)

I realize 5 months is a little long, but I wonder if this is related to
my own issue with name server IP propagation now? My name servers are
"ns1/ns2.lkjlkj.net". I changed servers and IPs a couple of weeks ago,
but now the name server IPs are stuck at the old values. Note that the
correct IP is returned from the query because I've changed DNS at the
old name server , but the IPs of the name servers themselves have not
changed. I can only guess that this is because GANDI has not updated
something within their servers. Any thoughts ? -- Mario Chamorro /

I'm having the same issue.  GANDI used to allow you to create nameserver
records for use on their site.  I recently changed IPs but the GANDI
values are still the old ones and I can't find an interface to change
them.
