This is the status of Eternal September.

     More than 11 years after Microsoft closed down their news server and the
     microsoft support groups, and in the light of the current influx of spam
     from Google to the microsft.* groups, this hierarchy has now been
     removed from Eternal-September.

AIOE had a RAID failure a week ago (not a "degrade", a complete
and utter "fail").

It will be a number of weeks, to bring it up from scratch.
Reinstall INN. Redo all the peering, and so on.

At the current time, the rental machine in the COLO, answers
a ping on just one address, and that is about the level of
support you get in a COLO. When local DNS is re-added to the machine,
then the multiple machine names will work again.
