[ale] 93% packet loss?

[Ken Nagorski]

Hi there,

Well you have to wait for DNS to propagate. If you say use X DNS server 
when DNS is updated and all the root nameservers are using X DNS server
then it doesn't matter what the old ISP is pointing it at! 

The sad fact is you are going to have to wait for DNS to expire and
get the updated information.

But I don't want to go among mad people,
Alice remarked.
Oh, you can't help that, said the Cat:
we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad? said Alice.
You must be, said the Cat,
or you wouldn't have come here.
