Record last updated on 06-Jul-2000.
Record expires on 04-Aug-2002.
Record created on 04-Aug-1998.
Database last updated on 7-Jul-2000 16:35:13 EDT.
Domain servers in listed order:
DNS1.INTERLAND.NET 64.224.20.132
DNS2.INTERLAND.NET 64.224.20.133
DNS3.INTERLAND.NET 64.224.20.134
Looks like it's been changed to Interland's nameservers very recently.
I you didn't make this change, maybe someone forged it. Perhaps NSI has a
copy of the original change request?
