I think it's kind of disingenuous to ask that kind of question about 
volunteers.  We're doing our best and may have communication problems 
from time to time.  I'm pushing getting some paid staff as soon as we 
are technically stable on our new servers with all old members moved 
over, but for now your dues don't entitle you to any claim on the time 
of admins, unfortunately.

Here's my statement on this issue: Of course it's been our intention all 
along to have two nameservers available for member domains, and those 
are meant to be [ns1|ns3].hcoop.net.  (Having two nameservers on 
different subnets is another issue altogether, which we didn't realize 
was as critical as we've now realized it is, due to finicky registrars, 
so this is on our to-do list.)  It is a bug, not a fantastic admin 
oversight, that the secondary nameserver isn't picking up changes from 
the primary nameserver right now.  I expect we'll get to it in the next 
few days, due to our various full-time jobs, etc..
