Hi. We are a colo customer who has recently moved fromVerio. We've switched

SOA to your name servers with our registrars for thefollowing domains:

*	familyaware.org*	cadent.com*	cadent.net*	theconstant.com

Please make the following updates to the DNS recordsfor each domain (Note:

I'm sure you could have figured out the SOA and NSrecords, but I just

wanted to confirm that your servers are theauthoritative ones). Please set

up these changes to take effect any time after 5:00 PMtoday. If you have

any questions, please contact me via email.Thanks,NeilChanges:FamilyAware.org

-----End of Original Message-----ISSUE :::::::::::::::::::::::

The FamilyAware.org domain does not resolve correctly.

Since the Cadent.com changes do all seem to work, I

conclude that there is a problem with the

FamilyAware.org DNS record on your servers.

For details, see the results of a ping command at thebottom of this message.

RESOLUTION :::::::::::::::::Please FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FAMILYAWARE.ORG DNS

RECORD as follows:familyaware.org.               A      64.55.106.132

See the original request above for the complete set of

DNS changes you'll need to implement.

Then, contact me via email to describe the steps you

took to fix the problem. Let me know how you tested

your configuration. You can reply to all of the

recipients of this email if you like.Thanks,Neil
