But it is safe. It is easy to put in another DNS at any time..

I also suggest looking at a recent nodelist, scroll down to Region 50.

I have looked, what should I particularly be noticing?

..The name server system that runs fidonet.org is a BSD
deployment with BIND and Perl generating the DNS records
from entries in the Nodelist. This is done to satisfy a
segment of Fidonet that is often ignored in most
discussions... Russia.

Noted.

Why can't anyone reach the persons who rely on those entries and confirm things? If they are active, there would be someone to contact.

..The last time I checked, I saw
at least a hundred or so A, CNAME and MX entries just for Region 50. There are subdomain entries for Region 50 to essentially clone the operation

Hmmm.. Subdomain entries at this point could certainly be an issue. But then, maybe it could not - based on the lack of knowledge/confidence anyone has to do
anything about it. :/

..The fidonet.org system just became overtly complex.
Since nobody has yet established a concise dialog with the
Russians about their use of the DNS system in this way,
I would not suggest breaking things for them... they take
Fidonet a bit more seriously.

Apparently not serious enough to "establish a concise dialog". :(

How have the previous attempts of almost-concise dialog been done sofar? How has the fidonet family been kept up to date about this issue?
Has it been recorded in the newsletter over the years? Can I read up on the matter somewhere?

No criticism, *just* asking questions.


Would this be good to move to FIDONET.ORG echo. (?)
