Google.co.za is doing it, Gmail is doing it — resolving to 196.23.168.147 – hosted by Internet Solutions, and reverse-IP’ing to za196-23-168-147.cache.googlevideo.com (which suggests the implemenation of local youtube caching (youtube.co.za is in the offing for some time now)) – full rundown here. Youtube.co.za — registered by MarkMonitor on behalf of Google – was last updated on 15 May 2010, so it’s not far away – well, at the moment, it’s just redirecting to http://www.youtube.com/?gl=ZA&hl=en-GB They weren’t that lucky with gmail.co.za though 
While we’re on domain names – did you know that whois.co.za is no longer functional? You need to browse directly to http://co.za/whois.shtml – I’ll put a little something together for that…
Just kind of interesting

You’re stuck on a Windows box. But you don’t want to install MinGW32? Can’t dual-boot to run Ubuntu or Debian on your Windows machine for some for that GNU happiness that sed, groff, wget, whois and all those happy apps bring with it? (more…)

[South Africa - Apr 8. 2010] Both www.co.za (South African co.za Domain Registry) and whois.co.za (The .co.za Domain homepage and the co.za Whois Server (Registration Details)) are offline (at least on port 80, for normal web traffic) — here’s hoping it’s just a reboot / upgrade!
Aaaaaaaaaanyway…
whois.co.za. 86400 IN CNAME co.za.
