Argh!  No sign of the boost.org DNS change.  Network Solutions says they 
are days behind in updating the DNS database.  But for only $29.95, they 
offer priority service.

I fell for it, forked over the $30 (actually, my credit card number), and 
they promise to make the change in the 5AM update.  (They update at 5AM and 
5PM.)  Then they mention that it still takes a minimum of 24 hours before 
the change propagates over the net.  And, by the way, there is no online 
way to verify anything - whois turns out not to be real time.

Sooner or later this will get straightened out - there just doesn't seem to 
be any way to expedite an IP address change.
