Panix restored
Panix's nameservice has been restored. Here's Bruce Tonkin's post from NANOG:Melbourne IT restored the nameservers and contact details associated with this name first thing this morning (Monday in Melbourne, Australia).We are arranging with the previous registrar (Dotster) to have the name transferred back.
We are also investigating the chain of events that led to the problem in the first place. This will take longer, due to the various timezones and parties involved. In this case one of the parties was an ISP in the United Kingdom, which is a reseller of Melbourne IT.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

Of course, the bad news is that it's going to take up to a day for the caching name servers that have been contaminated with the bad records to time out. DNS has no revocation mechanism.
