Status of zytrax.com "DNS for Rocket Scientists" website

[Carsten Strotmann]

Hi,

does anyone know about the status of the zytrax.com website and the
excellent "DNS for Rocket Scientists" guide?

The webpage first had a x509 certificate error (expired) in December
2020 and now the web server is unreachable.

I (and colleagues) have tried to reach Ron Aitchison by mail and other
communication means, but no success.

Greetings

Carsten

Unfortunately I don't but if anyone is able to make contact with Ron I'd be very happy to offer to host an archive of the site at no cost.

Best,
Richard.

Ron Aitchinson called me this afternoon. He is fine, and he promised to try to resurrect his site. He has been struggling with his hosting provider and he said he *might* be looking for new hosting, but he hasn’t thrown in the towel yet.

I will report back if I get further updates. I told him that a lot of users still find his site very useful and to let ‘us’ know if he ever plans to pull the plug.
