Effective immediately DNS servers owned by Rexx will no longer be accessable to the public. The Rexx DNS servers will now only respond for domains which we are hosting.
Use the publically accessable DNS servers by Goodle at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
We have sadly had to take this action due to hackers, spammmers and all around general idiots trying to break into or corrupt the data on our servers.

Sydney, Australia Server Online.
Our newest public-facing server came online this weekend "Down Under." It will be primarily focused on serving DNS and hosted websites for our new Australian clients which have been coming to us from the Zerigo shutdown. It will also be part of our Geo-Location based web service which will be opening later this month.
Rexx is expecting to move servers from our Los Angeles Facility to data centers in Chicago and Atlanta in the next 2 months.
