No. The master is the blind primary on the 62.65 network, hasn't
changed. And I see you transferring from there.

That, however, is wrong. I don't know why neptune is sending out
notifies - it's not the master. It's not even a slave for that zone!

Also, I ran my test script. Seems there are problems with several of the
listed nameservers!

We have the following servers:
 ns.hub.org          | 200.46.204.2
 ns2.hub.org         | 66.98.250.36
 ns3.hub.org         | 200.46.204.4
 ns-a.lerctr.org     | 192.147.25.11
 ns-b.lerctr.org     | 192.147.25.45
 ns1.pgadmin.org     | 194.217.48.34
 ns2.pgadmin.org     | 81.187.210.23


Of these we have:
ns1.pgadmin.org and ns2.pgadmin.org - don't resolve at all. Changed or
should be removed?

ns.hub.org - now has a different IP? But something is answering on the
listed one? And it's the old one that sends notifies? Which one is
right?

ns3.hub.org - now has a different IP? Nothing answering on specified IP.

This means that more than half the DNS servers have changed since this
system was set up (and that was just a year ago! DNS servers are
supposed to be stable :P), and not one of the changes were reported
here... (Or if they were, nobody made sure the system was updated. But
I'm fairly certain I haven't heard anything about it)

Anyway. If I can get confirmation on how the above is supposed to be,
I'll fix it up ASAP.

'k, where are ns{1,2}.pgadmin.org being used?

'k, I just did a major overhaul of our DNS this month ... 200.46.204.2 was
getting overloaded, and there was no easy way to move things around, so I
put the DNS servers on a floating IP (the IP doesn't change, it can just
float between servers) instead of tying it to a specific server ...

So, the IPs should all be:

   ?column?   |      data
-------------+----------------
  ns4.hub.org | 200.46.208.251
  ns.hub.org  | 200.46.204.13
  ns2.hub.org | 66.98.250.36
  ns3.hub.org | 200.46.204.254
(4 rows)

Everything is in a bind-dlz database right now (except postgresql.org
itself, since I haven't quite figured out a clean way of doing that yet,
since its generated based on other data sources) ...

Primaary is 200.46.204.13, as the others are all slony slaves from it ...

This whole thing is about the mirrors.postgresql.org zone.

Ok. Will update.

Uh, I hope it's not set up like that for mirrors.postgresql.org? If so,
it's very much broken. It needs to be set up with them all as slaves off
the blind primary, the way it used to be.

Can you check and confirm for that specific zone?

'k, I can't see anything about ns1.pgadmin.org in teh zone file:

www             IN      CNAME   static.mirrors.postgresql.org.
mirrors IN      NS      ns.hub.org.
mirrors IN      NS      ns2.hub.org.
mirrors IN      NS      ns3.hub.org.
mirrors IN      NS      ns-1.sollentuna.net.
mirrors IN      NS      ns-a.lerctr.org.
mirrors IN      NS      ns-b.lerctr.org.

I'm obviously missing something here ...

Yup. That's not the actual zone, that's the glue records. You get the
zone by doing a NS query to the blind primary. They should always be in
sync, so don't change the glue records without having the zone updated.

The zone right now has (after I updated the NS records for the hub.org
ones that were incorrect):
