I've been happily using Trinity for a couple of weeks, and needed to
reinstall it after changing distros -- but the GPG keyserver (command
copied from instructions) is coming up as host not found. Here's what
I get from a nslookup:
Server: 156.154.71.16
Address: 156.154.71.16#53
** server can't find keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net: NXDOMAIN
PS. Thank you (to anyone working on the project) for creating, working
on, and hosting Trinity. I first installed Linux in Spring 2008 and
KDE 3 was what made me fall in love with it!

Not a good idea! I can change the IP address I have assigned to this
project without warning for a variety of reasons...
What I don't understand is that an invalid DNS cache for
*.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net has been floating around the Internet.
I would suggest giving it a couple days and trying again. If the problem
persists then please let me know.
I would also be interested in the output of
nslookup quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net
Thanks!

New subject: [trinity-users] Can't reach keyserver - "host not found" (an idea)
Domain servers in listed order:
ns1.pearsoncomputing.net
ns1.twisted4life.com
So why is pearsoncomputing.net IN NS ns1.pearsoncomputing.net? It's a recursion unless
ns1.pearsoncomputing.net is not set up somewhere on the highest level.
A suggestion: change ns1.pearsoncomputing.net NS record to another DNS server or at least
another hostname outside pearsoncomputing.net, pointing to 74.84.118.180.

Which it is--check the root DNS records if you want to. :)
Also, pearsoncomputing.net and all other domains here function perfectly.
The only problem is with *.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net, where *
changes somewhat randomly. I have never had an nslookup against
ns1.pearsoncomputing.net fail, and the configuration was not changed until
just now (to force a cache reload on all DNS servers on the Internet) so I
must logically assume the problem was an upstream glitch of some sort. It
would not be the first time something unusual has happened upstream to the
DNS system of any particular website...

OK, thanks for the data. I really have no idea what is going on; the
fragmentation suggests invalid data floating around the DNS network
upstream from me. I have pushed out new DNS records to hopefully override
the invalid/corrupted data; give it 24 hours and see if the problem
resolves.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
