[dns-operations] nhc.noaa.gov expired signatures

[Rose, Scott W.]

I emailed the admins and they know about it, but there is a disconnect between the zone data producers and the signers (different groups), and the signer is failing.  It will hopefully be resolved shortly.

The help desk is question is the .gov TLD help desk (I assume):  http://www.dotgov.gov/   Never tried to contact them so I don't know how well that would work.  They only have the listed contacts, which are often the managers of the IT dept (or higher) so it might not always get the right person.

It's mostly ad hoc right now (and usually involves me) and it doesn't scale.
