  And worse, I am going offline now for a few hours.

  But you can make the DNS change if you have access to adrepec at raneb

krichel at trabbi:~$ ssh adrepec at raneb
Linux raneb 2.6.22-3-686 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 20:20:49 UTC 2008 i686

  All DNS files are held in ~/bind.

  When editing a file don't forget to increment the serial number, of
  the form yyyymmddxx, where xx allows for (heaven forbid) 100 changes
  a day.

  After changes, execute the alias

binder at fafner:~$ rebind

  You can add 

binder at fafner:~$ tail -f /var/log/daemon.log

  to see what the restart is logging. Exit with ^C out of the tail.

  Good luck!

  The file to change is repec.db.
