The Waiting Is The Hardest Part

Got tired of waiting for my current registrar (Easyspace) to transfer my domain to my new registrar (Dreamhost), especially since they don’t seem to be touching DNS now that I initiated the transfer. So, good old Unix to the rescue:

joshua:~# dig www.srhuston.net @ns1.dreamhost.com
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.srhuston.net. 14400 IN A 208.113.156.214
...
joshua:~# dig gallery.srhuston.net @ns1.dreamhost.com
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
gallery.srhuston.net. 14400 IN A 64.111.108.163
...
joshua:~# vi /var/named/db.srhuston
[edits]
joshua:~# service named restart

So, the new site is "on the air" now. You probably guessed that, since you're reading it. And this post serves no real purpose then. Oh well.
