I was clicking through the “People who donated stuff list” and saw that many old members' pages were b0rked. I emailed slee, whose is broken by SELinux, and fixed jgrady's; his index page is index.php3, so I added that to the DirectoryIndex and to AddType line for PHP files.

blaze.cs.jhu.edu still can't zone transfer from us. Turns out maradns's zoneserver program did die; so I re-instated the

while (true); do /etc/init.d/maradns restart ; /etc/init.d/zoneserver stop ; /etc/init.d/zoneserver start ; sleep 20m ; done

script. Hopefully that'll be enough for blaze to get our zonefiles.

According to the Ethernet HOWTO, there are known problems with the Ethernet card that used to be in typhon, the Pentium 200 MMX that's our primary DNS server. That could explain why maradns was crashing (though that's pretty bad for a DNS daemon to do).

So, Albert and I replaced the network card. “Everything seems fine now.” I also commented-out some HINFO records from the DNS table; those were causing syntax errors when “host -l acm.jhu.edu” was run. Hopefully, now that zone transfers are enabled, we have a working NIC, and the zone transfer output is valid (even if warning-laden), we can get blaze.cs.jhu.edu to successfully read our DNS.
