What: deadtech.ccs.yorku.ca (IP address 130.63.168.21) York's primary DNS and DHCP server. When: Friday October 30th Time: 6:15 - 6:30 Reason: To facilitate a software upgrade on the server Effect on users: Users may experience significant delays when opening or communicating with other network hosts (internal and external to York). The delay will vary across applications. This outage has been scheduled to coincide with the weekly modem maintenance period, in order to minimize the effect on our users. We currently have "secondary" servers that also provide DNS connectivity. Users who are responsible for their own machine configurations should take this opportunity to ensure that the "search list" for DNS is: At main campus: 130.63.168.21 130.63.237.99 132.251.1.2 And at Glendon: 130.63.152.14 130.63.168.21 130.63.237.99 132.251.1.2 Having this search list will minimize the effect of any of our DNS server. This outage should be "invisible" to DHCP clients. Concerns should be addressed to [log in to unmask]
