What is happening

We are adding a new server to our list of DNS servers. The new server is already functional for all the shared hosting domains.

The new address of the server is: 209.172.53.230

Who is affected

All the users managing their domains themselves (as technical contact) have to add NS3.KOUMBIT.NET to their DNS configuration. This will ensure that you will not suffer any outage when we switch NS2.KOUMBIT.NET providers.

All domains managed by Koumbit have been properly modified today. If we are the technical contact for your domain, you do not have any action to take today.

You can verify the contacts for your domains through this web page:

When

The changes have already started. The server has been in production since today. The "Glue Records" have been updated today, as all the domains for which we are the technical contact.

Why

The secondary DNS server NS2.KOUMBIT.NET is hosted on a network link with less than desirable latency, which degrades our quality of service. We therefore want to migrate this server to another provider, but this move may create an outage. We are therefore creating a new DNS server that will provide us with another redundancy layer.

I object

If this intervention is too problematic for you or your organisation, please let us know within 24h to see if we can arrange otherwise.
