Re: Urgent - Primary DNS server died

If your primary server will not be replaced in under 6 days, or if
you've shortened the expire time limit from the default 7 days, then
you should ask them to temporarily turn their server into a master
for each of your zones, using the data they currently have. (If
they're unable to do this, you're going to want to replace your old
server in a hurry.)

If you want to upgrade to a more recent version of QuickDNS at the
same time, please feel free to call on us for advice and assistance.
Each purchase (including upgrades) comes with 30 days of premium
support.
