Tony -
  We don't actually push the DNS records immediately from the FASST 
tool to the DNS - we process changes in a batch every 30 minutes, and 
sometimes then it is even up to an hour for the changes to filter out 
to all of our primary authoritative resolvers, and then possibly even 
longer to show up in whatever resolver you're using.  I just took a 
look at the DNS, and it seems that the resolver I am using shows the 
data with the "!" at the end of your NAPTR now (not included for 
privacy reasons).  Sorry for the delay, but pushing updates at the 
moment that someone made changes to the database would quickly lead 
to a lot of noise on our DNS machines, and also would possibly open 
us up to some race conditions which might have significant impact on 
our performance.

  To your second point: yes, it appears since yesterday evening we 
were throwing "500" errors due to  a wedged process on the parser. 
I've restarted the process (uptime of 4 months, so not bad!) and all 
seems to be well.  Thanks for letting us know - the monitoring system 
didn't catch it, and we'll have to write something that triggers on 
that behavior in the future.
