This may become unreachable shortly, and some people are already not going to be able to see it, but just for the record:

I had to change DNS registrars last week, and now, just about one zone file TTL after the first of the transfers was confirmed, that first domain to be transferred (eyrie.net) has become unresolvable. eyrie-productions.com still works for the moment, presumably because for some reason the new registrar took a few days longer to confirm that transfer, but it'll probably also break in the same way sometime soon.

I'm looking into it, with the proviso that I haven't done that kind of work in decades and really neither have any idea what to do nor possess the tools to do it any longer. I have direct control over neither the domain registrations themselves nor the name servers they're still supposed to be looking at, according to the registrar account dashboard I'm looking at now. Which probably means that after I get some lunch, I'll get to experience the joys of dealing with a commercial domain name registrar's support department for the first time since I worked at UltraNet in 1998 and spent part of most workdays on the phone with some guy at NetSol. Yay!

There was a break at eyrie-productions.com earlier today, but you're back now, so all appears well on the electronic front.

I always come in through eyrie.net from long habit but both seem to be working for me at 20:59 EDT.

EDIT: I somehow didn't notice the title, very good. It reminds me of this haiku:

It’s not DNS
There’s no way it’s DNS
It was DNS

I think we've had at least one incident of that where I work, although admittedly in a decade of IT work including having to deal with multiple DNS updates, having one shoot itself in the foot, reload, and shoot the other foot before taking aim at the first one again just to make sure is probably inevitable.

The problem seems to be fixed now, and as it turns out, the timing may have been coincidental. It appears there was an unrelated Verizon FiOS outage in MA that took down the GweepNet name server for a while. It's unclear why the other name server specified in EPU's domain record didn't pick up the slack, but when FiOS came back, so did our DNS, which is, at the very least, suggestive.

Just now, I was unable to resolve www.eyrie-productions.com; www.eyrie.net worked fine. I habitually use the former; I'm glad that I remembered that the latter exists.

EDIT: never mind, I just tried again and it worked. Very peculiar.
