If you've been reading the comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains newsgroup, you'd
notice lots of people reporting problems with Granite Canyon since Memorial
Day weekend.

So far, I don't think there's been any comment by anyone associated with GC
about what the cause of the problem is or when they expect it to be fixed.

Changes to delegations occur in the parent domain.  For your forward
domains, simply send your registrar the new DNS servers you're using; for
the reverse domains, send the info to your ISP.
