We recognize the problem and are making incremental improvements to the service while attempting to keep up with the load (700 new a day on average and a high of 900+). The next round of improvements is reserving the domain as it is sent into our system, parsing and rejecting badly-formed templates, and running dns sanity checks (it is in beta-test now). Internally, we have discussed this ad-nauseam and plan on issuing a short paper on the domain processes (what we expect from you, what to expect from us, etc). I'll announce this on the [email protected] list as well as here. If you have any more suggestions, I'm all ears. > problem would not occur.

You are experiencing the effects of the lastest surge of domain requests. A month ago we almost caught up but since then have been blasted by requests and phone calls putting us down in the hole again.
