GraniteCanyon DNS Entry Question

[Steve Senator]

Coincident with the OS upgrade, we also closed several known,
exploitable (but unexploited?) security holes in the Public DNS
infrastructure. This prevented normal processing of the zone
updates until we upgraded some of our maintenance scripts. This
has now been done.

In general, we try to put the Public DNS status at the following URL:
