Hey Kurt,

Do you see these messages?

Hasn't that Net218 address been invalid for YEARS?

I have a vague memory that the operator changed the name of the BBS (and therefore probably the domain name).

Why haven't you fixed/removed this?

That was done to please Z1.

Not really, apparently a once a year procedure met an exception that was
not forseen. As a result de Z1 segment was not included in the locally
generated Nodelist that is used to generate the report.

These were removed:

I get the same indeed. So it does exist. And further:

https://domains.cloudflare.com/?domain=mystic.dog

Says: mystic.dog is unavailable because it is registered already.

And I can register other .dog domains there.

But still whois gives an error for mystic.dog, so you can't find any registration details...

And host for mystic.dog and bbs.mystic.dog, give 'Host mystic.dog not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)' responses.
So maybe the report Kees generated is correct. It would be interesting to hear what kind of test Kees does on the domain names?

According to https://nodelist.fidonet.cc/reachability/node this node has been unreachable since the start of measurements.

So it might as well be a case of an abandonned node.

Note: the host has been unreachable since 10 februari. So I say we have a dead net.
