Something to give thought to everyone on this list using DNSbls....

We provide a standard first level retail customer service line 24 hours by 5.5 days. (which gives business hours service in all world time zones). We provide 24 hour by 7 day customer service for resellers (typically ISPs, web hosting companies etc). This would be particularly important to consider in the event of somone hijacking and creating a record such as: *.dnsbl.sorbs.net 604800 IN A 127.0.0.2 or *.sbl.spamhaus.org 604800 IN A 127.0.0.2 etc.... We provide 24 hour by 7 day second level technical operations support.This is certainly a start, and hopefully the nessesary people will make things happen to ensure it never happens again. For the record, SORBS.net is registered with GANDI, I have no intention of updating the NS servers away from ones listed in the SORBS.net domain or transfering the domains to another registrar, however I am yet to find any method to 'LOCK' or 'UNLOCK' the domain... I note that Spamhaus.org is set 'CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED' and 'CLIENT UPDATE PROHIBITED' so in theory this shouldn't be a problem, but the various earlier comments indicating that panix.com was thought to be 'LOCKED' before the issues of the last few days provide more food for thought.
