More .us Domain Problems? · Slashdot Mirror

possible asks: "My .us domain registrations supposedly went through on April 27th 2002. However, even though register.com's .us FAQ states that you can use their Domain Manager to edit addresses, aliases, MX records, and SOA's for your .us domain, I have not been able to do ANYTHING yet. When I called their technical support on May 1st, they basically said "This is Neustar's fault, in the meantime we have to do everything manually." So I had them set up my MX and name records over the phone. 6 days later, I'm still unable to resolve my domains. Today I called register.com again they told me 'Somehow your zone file got corrupted, you have to realize that .us domains are a new thing and it's not going smoothly for many people.' Some of my friends are having similar .us problems with different registrars. Is anyone else having problems with their .us domains? Does anyone know what the underlying problem is?"

Any reason you went with the .us domain instead of the old faithful .com?

On a completely side note, why does each article get posted only to its server? This one is on ask.slashdot.org, but normally it would be available from both ask./.org and slashdot.org (no prefix).

Considering that one can't get back to the real /. homepage from any particular server, it seems like quite a bad interface design. It started right after /. came back from its 2 hour hiatus earlier. Perhaps some bad code went in?
