No, we're telling them re-register I believe (not my department). There was no logical reason to let it lapse so I'm assuming it was human error. IDG decided years ago to centralise the management of all the domains owned by the various IDG business units around the world, so they they could get a handle on what was actually out there. Seemed logical at the time ....

537893 2007-04-04 23:14:00 I haven't had any problem accessing the site via my bookmarked http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz. But have to wonder why the odd secondary name server?

ns1.iconz.co.nz
ns1.idg.co.nz

One would have expected this to be managed by Fairfax now. Or is it a case where Fairfax just pay a subscription to use the naming rights?
