Summary

  • New article: Migrating DNS to DNSimple (migrating-dns-to-dnsimple.md) — How-to guide covering the full DNS migration process: record import, verification, name server switch, and propagation monitoring.
  • New article: Name Server Redundancy and High Availability (name-server-redundancy.md) — Explanation article covering why multiple name servers matter, Anycast routing, and DNSimple's redundancy architecture.
  • Expanded: Pointing a Domain to DNSimple (pointing-domain-to-dnsimple.md) — Rewritten from a thin routing page into a proper article with delegation context, name server list, propagation expectations, and troubleshooting links.
  • Retired: Troubleshooting DNSimple Name Servers (troubleshoot-dnsimple-name-servers.md) — Deleted and redirected to /articles/troubleshooting-name-servers/. Updated all internal cross-links (4 articles) to point to the new URL.
  • Updated categories/name_servers.yaml with the two new articles.

Dependencies

This PR should be merged after PR #1746, which creates the redirect target (troubleshooting-name-servers.md).

Test plan

  • Verify new articles render correctly with TOC, callouts, and cross-links
  • Confirm redirect from /articles/troubleshoot-dnsimple-name-servers/ resolves to /articles/troubleshooting-name-servers/
  • Check that updated cross-links in dns.md, check-resolution-status.md, resolution-status.md, and domain-resolution-issues.md point to valid targets
  • Verify category page lists the new articles under Explanation and How to sections

The name_servers.yaml restructure belongs in PR #1743 (pillar and
category structure). This PR focuses on article content only.

Adds articles from PR #1746 (troubleshooting) and PR #1817 (migration,
redundancy) to the category YAML and pillar page so they appear in the
correct sections when those PRs merge.

Merge order

This PR must merge after #1746, which creates troubleshooting-name-servers.md — the redirect target for the deleted troubleshoot-dnsimple-name-servers.md.

Also note: both this PR and #1744 modify pointing-domain-to-dnsimple.md, so whichever merges second will need a merge conflict resolved on that file.
