OK - DNS is under control now. We took it back to the DNS servers at 
gocept to get the status quo back to a working state. We're happy to 
make any changes that are deemed necessary. Looking at the fact that we 
get contacted because the WHOIS points to us I'd prefer to also have 
authority over DNS - otherwise we just get flooded with requests that 
we can't do anything about.

So: what's next?
