[H-SASIG] Move of Excalibur

[James Iseppi]

Hi All,

So the detailed steps are login to the registrar at https://www.enetica.com.au/man.cgi 
  with the details that will eventually be on http://www.humbug.org.au/SysAdmin/Private/RegistrarDetails 
. The two relevant sections are Hostnames and Nameservers at the top  
of the page. Hostnames contains the glue records, with hostname and IP  
address, remember that glue records are only required for hostnames  
within the same domain, so our only glue record currently is  
excalibur.humbug.org.au. The Nameservers tab (which I'm guessing most  
would be familiar with) contains the list of hostname's that the  
domain will be delegated to.

So for the changes I did this morning I just updated the IP address on  
the Hostnames tab for excalibur to its new value of 74.207.240.123 and  
then re-added excalibur to the list of name servers. Both of these  
operations were nearly instantaneously reflected in both whois and DNS.

Hope you find that useful, and I'm happy to send the password through  
to any of the Sysadmin's who do not currently have it.

Thanks
James
