.gov zone file downloads stale since November 16?
by Joe Wein Dec. 14, 2023

Dec. 14, 2023

I am getting strange results where if I download a zone file from the browser after logging into the ICANN acount, I get yesterday's version as expected, yet the scripted downloads pick up a .gz that when extracted has a file dated November 16 and a serial in the vicinity of that date's epoch count: 1700092762 (2023-11-15 23:59:22) I did a browser download three days ago and it gave me: 1702261500 (2023-12-11 02:25:00) Today's download via the browser gives me: 1702520700 (2023-12-14 02:25:00) That raises a few questions: 1) Why is the regular download stuck in November? 2) Why is the website download unaffected? 3) Recent downloads give me a consistent time stamp for the time of day which is different from the stuck version, which is just before midnight. What changed there? Is it just me or can anybody else confirm this observation? Can we please fix this *and* add robust monitoring so that broken updates generate an alert! Joe SURBL

Problems on the CZDS and ZFA expiry even with extensions requested?
by John McCormac Dec. 1, 2023

Are there problems with the CZDS as I've had a number of ZFAs expire even though extensions have been requested (2 more on 28/November/2023) The extension requests were filed on 03/November/2023)? ICANN Compliance seems to take weeks to get around to dealing with complaints.
