Where did sbcglobal.net go?

I think Len Rose also mentioned this morning that Network
Solutions has an MX issue. Network Solutions is working on it,
has been for several hours now.

sbcglobal.net is being hard coded into our DNS servers so that
the impact will be less severe to customers. Sorry Mike <G>

Does anyone know if SBC/PacBell dropped the sbcglobal.net

domain name? Since

late yesterday, it's been gone from the root nameservers.....

$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net -t ns sbcbglobal.net
