Scheduled

We will be performing maintenance on .nz DNS Zone processing systems.

During this maintenance window we will pause updates to our DNS distribution primaries.

Changes in the IRS platform will not be reflected in DNS until the end of the maintenance window. The DNS will continue to serve the content of the zones prior to the start of maintenance.

This will pause updates to the following zones:
nz, ac.nz, co.nz, cri.nz, geek.nz, gen.nz, govt.nz, health.nz, iwi.nz, kiwi.nz, maori.nz, mil.nz, net.nz, org.nz, parliament.nz, and school.nz

We will perform a KSK rollover on the current standby DNSSEC chain for nz, ac.nz, co.nz, cri.nz, geek.nz, gen.nz, govt.nz, health.nz, iwi.nz, kiwi.nz, maori.nz, mil.nz, net.nz, org.nz, parliament.nz, and school.nz

This will generate new DNSSEC keys and add them to the signing chains.

If you have any questions please contact registry@internetnz.net.nz.
