So our domain registrar decided to restore their zone files from backups. Third time this year. I can imagine them opening the underground caves to roll out the backup tapes. Giggling and dancing a little bit.
When you move a bunch of websites to another hosting and you notify the root servers that the zone has moved you usually have a damn good reason to do so. In our case we grew tired of the shitty hosting of a certain "big time" dedicated hosting service (which recently whored its datacenter out to someone else and dropped our dedicated boxen off the face of Earth for two weeks without any explanation or apology) so we killed off the machines one after another and moved the web hosting and DNS to somewhere else.
Our registrar thought otherwise. Their backup drill or whatever the hell it is that causes them to restore their zones from backups third time this year took about two dozen of our sites and restored their DNS zones to what they used to be when those sites were hosted with the aforementioned "big time" hosting.
Then they notified the root servers.
All hell broke loose and no one paid attention.
Then I get yelled at as if I am the one who fucked up.
