If you go into ispc.org's domain management, to the "Name Servers" page, and click on the "If you want to create or modify a nameserver which is based on" and update the IPs. This will probably fix the glue, although I'm not 100% certain.I've been trying to find out why a small number of nameservers seem to cache incorrect A records for {ns1,ns2,ns3}.ispc.org and I think I've tracked it down to some bad "additional results" returned by the .org roots when looking up domains served by those nameservers. Likely some old nameservers that are subject to cache poisoning are getting polluted by that info, which would explain why only a small fraction of people have problems.
What I can't find out is where that glue is coming from, or more to the point, where to go to fix it.
As an example: ask any .org root server for info about "geezer.org" . The "additional" section contains addresses for the geezer.org nameservers, with incorrect IP addresses for the ns?.ispc.org names. Example below.
Does anybody know where I might go to repair this? i.e., to have the bad glue removed or at least corrected?
