www.svlug.org and www.svlug.net are still not defined in the new nameservers.

Here's the root cause of the problem...

A CNAME for "www" is missing in the new DNS files that were posted by Rick
on the volunteers list Thursday, and on all following updates.  In order to
fix this, one of you will need to add CNAME records for "www" to both domains
on the current nameservers.

Until that's done, the workaround is to access http://svlug.org/
not www.svlug.org.

More info...

Among the files that I provided, the *.dns files have everything that was
previously in use for the SVLUG domains.  Those should have been used as
the reference.

I included the *.dconf files mainly as a courtesy to show where the
generated *.dns files came from.  My guess is the new DNS was made from
those files by mistake, without knowing that some information is added to
them from a global configuration.  The *.dconf files are inputs to a
DNS-building script used to manage sbay.org's domains and others.
Every domain has a "www" CNAME so that's in the global config.

Here are the results of current queries to svlug.org and svlug.net.
