That's brutal. New DNS entries should be a 24 hour turnaround at most.
Not like it takes a lot of work.
Yet another reason for the move.

Folks,
I'd like to suggest using shell.telascience.org (198.202.74.218) as a
download server. We have roughly 6GB free, and free up another 3GB
fairly
easily. I'd be willing to do some setup for this purpose, and updates
to the wiki if SAC is agreeable.
I would note that it has proven pretty slow to get new DNS pointers for
the .osgeo.org domain (several weeks for my last request) so it might be
good for us to set this up as downloads.osgeo.net if we have active
control of osgeo.net now.
Best regards,
--
