Final Pentrace Server switchover - take a note of these URL's
The time has come for the final Pentrace server switch!
Sometime within the next 12 hours (depending on the ISP's schedule), the site will switch completely to it's new home, you will be able to tell from the Home Page which will have a message to this effect at the top of the page. From experience it takes a few hours after that for the DNS details to ripple throughout the internet. Basically the DNS (Domain Name Server) is like the index in a book: it tells the browser which server to look up to find a site, in a similar manner to finding which page of a book a particular subject is on. For a short period following the transition, a local DNS may still point to the old server pending having it's details updated. If that happens you may get the old "Server not found" type of message as the site apparently drops off the radar. The last time we switched server, some of our UK readers couldn't find the site for an hour or two. Some of you may have already found difficulty in getting through. To avoid problems, take note of the URL's below . They point directly to the message boards. Even if your browser can't find Pentrace.com temporarily, these URL's will get you back on the boards For the technical savvy, the new nameservers a Primary Name Server: - 65.40.10.226 Secondary Name Server: - 65.40.10.225 Finally, during this transition, the Pentrace email addresses will also be affected. We won't lose any messages, but they will be delayed for a few hours.
