The zope.org-related servers and services maintained by Zope Corporation will be moving to a new home late Thursday night Eastern Standard Time.
How long will the outage last? ----------------------------
The servers will be moved physically to a new hosting provider. There will be an outage of about 2 hours for the physical move, as well as an outage while the new DNS information for these services propagate throughout the internet.
If the sysadmins reduce the DNS TTLs to something like 5 minutes, and do that well in advance of the physical move (say, couple of days before), then new DNS information should propagate quickly.
The lowest value allowed by the web-based DNS vendor that holds the zope.org zone is 1200 seconds, at least that's lower than the 7200 second value before. jens
