stoloto.ru replaced all four of its Selectel nameservers with two nic.ru entries on 22 July 2026, according to a reading by DRM3's DomainDrift instrument.[^1]

The prior configuration listed a.ns.selectel.ru, b.ns.selectel.ru, c.ns.selectel.ru and d.ns.selectel.ru. The incoming configuration lists ns3-l2.nic.ru and ns4-l2.nic.ru. That is a reduction from four nameservers to two in a single recorded transition.

The read here is that the move is clean and deliberate: a domain carrying nameservers from one provider does not shed all four of them by accident. Whether the change reflects a broader infrastructure decision cannot be established from this single data point.

What would settle the picture is a subsequent DomainDrift reading showing the new delegation stable or, alternatively, a further change - neither of which the current record contains.
