Yawe, The problem with KENIC- KXP link yesterday has since been sorted out Having said that the latency experienced on the link could not be the reason why your emails are bouncing since the other .KE root server were authoritative/ Available. There are number of reasons why mails bounce; a) Domain Related - Domain not exist - Domain expired - Invalid delegation (name server not authoritative) - invalid MX records b) Hosting Related - Blacklisted mail server - Mailbox unavailable - Mailbox full, or Quote Exceeded - Mail server not available - Filters Kindly send me details of the domains to enable me carry out a full diagnosis.

Agosta, You are right, KENIC has gone a little further and introduced notification feature to registrants (owner of domain) on the New registry system Registrants and Registrants get Notices from KENIC - Renewal Notice 60 Days to Expiry - Renewal Notice 30 Days to Expiry - Renewal Notice 7 Days to Expiry - Renewal Notice 3 Days to Expiry - Suspension on Expiry Registrants who registered their domains before Jan 2011 might not be getting this notices since the Previous registry system was not capturing registrants email addresses. KENIC is however carrying out out domain details (whois) database update with assistance from registrars. Domain details update feature has been availed to registrars on their Registry portal interface. Anybody can track details of their domain(s) registration from KENIC WHOIS Server http://whois.kenic.or.ke Yawe, Your Current registrar (Orange) has not updated your details (emails address) on the registry system, as such you did not get notifications from KENIC. It is the registrars obligation to notify registrants on domain expiry and update domain details on the .KE whois database Regards, Joe Kiragu Administrative Manager Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) "Where the internet begins in Kenya" kiragu@kenic.or.ke On Dec 8, 2010, at 9:49 AM, Agosta Liko wrote:

Yawe, I Think Washington was making a general comment "Redundancy is expensive", which is true. He did not say that KENIC should not Implement redundancy. Kindly be advised that KENIC has implemented redundancy; a) .KE ROOT Server - Primary at KENIC NOC - Secondary at KIXP ( anycast ) -Secondary outside that country (SA) b) KIXP-KENIC LINK - Primary Point- Point Link to KIXP - Redundant WIMAX Link to KIXP - Fiber Link installation in progress courtesy of Access Kenya c) Transit LINK - Primary link courtesy of Swift Global - VIA -KIXP - Back-up Link at KENIC Regards, Joe Kiragu Administrative Manager Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) "Where the internet begins in Kenya" kiragu@kenic.or.ke On Dec 8, 2010, at 9:42 AM, robert yawe wrote:

Hi, I paid Orange for renewal of my domain, as they say sometimes it better the devil you know, today at 3:00 pm yet my domain is still not yet reactivated. What is the acceptable duration for a registrar to forward a domain renewal request to KENIC? How can I update my domain details to include a notification email? This should make it easier for your new FM to manage cashflow.

Washington,
If you own a car can you convince me that you do not have a spare wheel, if you do that is called redundancy, why do you strongly believe that KENIC should not implement a redundant link might just be that I am too slow to understand where you are coming from.

Yawe, It takes a maximum of 30 Minutes for KENIC to publish the domain once tit has been activated. (KENIC Publishing Cycle Runs every 30 Minutes) Propagation to other DNS servers may take up to 6 Hrs depending on the domains Name server and your ISP caching server settings. Normally Registrars do not forward renewal request to KENIC, With the new Registry System registrar activate the renewal from their portal interface. Your registrar will update your domain details on the .KE Whois database so that you can start receiving renewals. Copy KENIC when sending this request for followup. Looks like your registrar has not renewed your domain yet.

Hi Robert, If you have paid Orange for the renewal, and their sysAdmin has updated the status of the domain from Suspended to Renewed, then the domain will be available online during the next DNS propagation. When lucky, this may take an hour, but theoretically, be braced for up-to 72hours. The problem is, huge companies have long process flows, and documentation before authorization is issued for the renewal. Just hustle them. You can check the status of your domain by doing a simple whois at the KENIC tool https://registry.kenic.or.ke/login.jsp Kind regards Mwendwa On 8 December 2010 19:13, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

Hi, It is scary when I read some of the responses to issues raised, I have been known to flame posters and have been resisting to do the same with some of those who are responding to this thread as they seem to be responding because I have been critical them in the past. Today I shall remain the bigger man and refrain, thanks Joe for your prompt and positive responses to issue raised relating to this thread and keeping your cool even when falsely accused. The implementation of a notification system will allow KENIC to serve its clients better especially with the high turnover of registrants and for acknowledging that your clients are the actual domain owners.It was also very mature of KENIC to accept that they where having a problem instead of passing the buck. The that a domain is reactivated within 30 minutes of notification tells us that delays are actually not at your end. The main issue here is that our providers need to be able to provide exemplary service especially in a situation where no human intervention is required so when an IT person suggests that I should keep tabs on my renewal dates then they are failing the profession. My insurer sends me a notification when my insurances are about to lapse, why, so that they do no loose my business. Safaricom notifies me when my post paid lines are past due, why, because they understand customer service and that at times one could have overlooked a pending bill. I expect a response that would keep the IT fellows at Orange on their toes not suggestions on reintroducing a manual system. Yes, I could set a notification on my laptop, smart phone and also mark the physical calendar but those are suggestions for other forums and not this one. The system at Orange still requires me to make payment at one counter then move to another counter to report that I have paid at the previous counter so that someone can then send an email to the technical staff to reactivate the account. Orange needs to understand that the problem is not in the colour or layout of the premises, maybe the marketing team there should visit Njuguna's or Bama. A similar problem still persists with KPLC where after paying for a disconnect service you must report to the reconnection office for reconnection to be effected, stoneage. They also have refused to fully embrace technology such as sending out a 1/- SMS or even make a 10/- phone call to the consumer before sending out a disconnection team that will cost them over 1,500/- of which they will only recover 580/-.

What is the acceptable duration for a registrar to forward a domain renewal request to KENIC? How can I update my domain details to include a notification email? This should make it easier for your new FM to manage cashflow.

Washington,
If you own a car can you convince me that you do not have a spare wheel, if you do that is called redundancy, why do you strongly believe that KENIC should not implement a redundant link might just be that I am too slow to understand where you are coming from.

This should be an eye opener on making KENIC more robust, we need 110% uptime, lets remember the 2 Rs - redundancy, redundancy and redundancy.

Redundancy is expensive:)
