In order to perform necessary maintenance work on one of York's DNS
servers, there will be a brief, 10 minute slowdown in DNS service
during the period:

Thursday April 26
7:30am - 8:00am

The DNS server affected is:

130.63.168.21

The DNS servers are used by internet applications to convert host
names to network IP addresses.

Users who have correctly configured their computers with the IP
addresses of three appropriate DNS servers may experience small
delays on all internet connections during the server outage.

Users who have configured their computers with only one DNS server
will likely suffer a complete outage on all internet connections.

CNS strongly suggests that York Main Campus users configure
their machines to use the following search sequence for the DNS
servers:

   130.63.168.21
   130.63.237.99
   132.251.1.2

The DNS configuration for Glendon users should be:

   130.63.152.14
   130.63.168.21
   130.63.237.99

The DNS configuration for ResNet users is automatically set by
the ResNet system via DHCP.  ResNet users should follow the
ResNet documentation appropriate to their operating system.

The DNS configuration for Modem Pool users is automatically set by
the modem pool access servers.

CNS apologizes for any inconvenience this service slowdown may
cause.

Questions or concerns about these outages, should be directed to
the CNS Helpdesk in the Steacie Science Library Building, (voice:
