gnucash.org DNS is broken

Hi,

It looks like the gnucash.org DNS servers are having problems.  In
particular, gnucash.org has two registered name servers, ns.linas.org
and ns.gnumatic.com.  Unfortunately it appears that ns.gnumatic.com
does not exist anymore (and is off the net).  This means that the
existence of the gnucash.org domain is totally dependent upon
ns.linas.org.

Now, granted, if ns.linas.org is off the net, so is the gnucash.org
website, cvs repository, and everything else.  So, maybe it doesn't
really matter?  However, it means that users will get a dns error and
mail bounce right away if they try to send mail, whereas if DNS exists
but the host is down the mail system will at least queue up the mail.

I'm willing to provide secondary DNS service if that would help
solve this problem..
