It's an issue at the registrar, not a DNS problem. discountdomains
still have
it set to "client hold", and until that's cleared the authoritative
nameservers
won't be pushed to the .org root over at ultra.

I normally wouldn't suggest this, as it's a recipe for DNS pain, but if
you add the line "207.173.203.146 www.pgbuildfarm.org" to your hosts
file you'll have access again. But, if you do that, be very, very, VERY
sure to remove it again once things are resolved.

I doubt there's anything anyone but Joshua can do to kick things
along, but I'm a tucows reseller and a dns geek, and if I can be of
any help
I'd be happy to do stuff.

Cheers,
Steve
