Problems with the DAC since Nominet maintenance

[LumpyBumps]

Morning all, is anyone experiencing problems with the DAC after Nominet carried out their maintenance yesterday ?

For registered domains it's working fine but for unregistered ones it's giving me partial responses where the domain is garbled. For instance, it'll just come back with the response:

.org.uk, N <- completely losing the domain

or

hristmas.org.uk, N <- just losing the first letter.

Anyone else seeing this or is it just me ?

Hi, Seems like my responses are ok, but im noticing that no names have dropped since about 12 o'clock yesterday... or maybe thats just me?

Can't see any drops for yesterday since maintenance. Thought nominet would drop them in the hours before midnight but I guess that would be too logical.

haha, yeah, too true, because Nominet are known to make logical decisions

They will probably drop later today, but having said that, makes you think maybe yesterdays will go today and todays will go tomorrow but then it would make the dates of dropping go out of sync, so that probably wont happen.

Or, knowing nominet, they will just be ignored and everything will carry on as usual with yesterdays drops dropping randomly over the next few years I did email to ask but no response yet. I'm sure I'll get the cookie cutter 'mind your own business' email at some point today though.

haha true, "good old Nominet, keeping everyone in the dark since 1996" ;-)

Glad it's not just me then. I have just seen my first few domains drop so the process must have restarted but still many of the responses are garbled.

I'll try and find out how to contact them and let them know.

Some movement on today. Around 30 dropped in the last hour. 2,319 to drop as at 9:45am will post the amount to drop an hour after.
- Edited to add - Ok there are 2,155 now so nearly a couple of hundred dropped. Seems to be back on track but no sign of movement from yesterday's - anyone seen anything from then?
