The Sun-3/160 known as sharkey.cc.umich.edu no longer exists.  If you are
a site at U-M or within MI.US that is still MXing mail to sharkey, you
should either delete those MX records, or change them so that they
point to mailrus.cc.umich.edu instead.

The Sun-3/160 known as terminator.cc.umich.edu will very soon be powered
down, disassembled, and mailed back to Sun as part of an upgrade deal.
If you are currently a terminator.cc.umich.edu user, contact us about
getting an account on the new machine, terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu.
Requests should go to root@terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu.  If you use
141.211.164.8 in a resolver configuration, don't worry:  the new machine
will use that address as soon as the old one is removed.  If you MX mail
to terminator.cc.umich.edu, this MX record should be deleted or replaced
with on pointing to mailrus.  If you have any NS records pointing to
terminator, these should be deleted.  Contact hostmaster@umich.edu for
more information.

The Sun-3/180 known as mailrus.cc.umich.edu will very soon be powered down
and removed from service.  A new machine, the reborn sharkey as a Sun-4
known as barbarian.rs.itd.umich.edu, will take its place.  This machine
will handle MTS-mail-related duties, secondary domain nameservice, and
campus MX service.  If you are using 35.1.1.26 as a resolver configuration
entry, you needn't change anything.  barbarian will be placed at that
address.  If you use mailrus.cc.umich.edu in a NS record, you need to
change that to DNS2.ITD.UMICH.EDU as soon as possible.  This will be a
generic name which will always point to the ITD machine at U-M providing
secondary domain nameservice.  If you MX mail to mailrus, continue to do
so.  There will be another announcement just before we unplug mailrus.
It should also be possible for us to have barbarian accept mail under
the name mailrus.cc.umich.edu for a short period of time to ease the
transition.

For information about these changes, please contact:

	hostmaster@umich.edu	for DNS questions and concerns
	usenet@umich.edu	for USENET news questions and concerns
	uucp@umich.edu		for UUCP questions and concerns
	postmaster@umich.edu	for mail questions and concerns
