| ChinnoDog | Network Solutions is broken today | 18:04 |
| TheLordOfTime | old news | 18:04 |
| ChinnoDog | How do you guard against your root DNS server tanking? | 18:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | redundant backups | 18:07 |
| ChinnoDog | I mean how do you make sure your web site resolves during an outage like this? | 18:08 |
| ChinnoDog | The problem is that one or more of the Network Solutions DNS servers is not working | 18:09 |
| ChinnoDog | Multiple NS servers isn't going to help if the root server is offline | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | network solutions doesn't run the root servers, those are run by ICANN | 18:13 |
| pleia2 | unless you mean something else by "root server"? | 18:13 |
| pleia2 | and your master dns server can go down, but the slaves should still work fine, they just won't get updated | 18:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | mhm | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | (that's kind of the whole point :)) | 18:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | exactly | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | typically people put their nameservers in different physical locations to prevent multiple ones going out at once, or sync between multiple providers | 18:15 |
| pleia2 | but honestly, most people stick with one provider and trust they are redundant as they should be (not great, but common enough, I do it) | 18:16 |
| ChinnoDog | It isn't one of the DNS servers for the domain, it is the Network Solutions server that points to the next level DNS servr. Does that make it a .com server? I'm not sure since I don't know how the load of TLDs are distributed. | 18:16 |
| ChinnoDog | When I try to resolve the affected domains the query times out | 18:17 |
| ChinnoDog | Looks like it is fixed now. Seems to be a single point of failure I can't do anything about though. | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | yeah, this is a case of a whole provider failing | 18:21 |
| pleia2 | on the bright side, you're not alone :D | 18:21 |
| ChinnoDog | Not very comforting. lol | 18:21 |
| ChinnoDog | This happened before and it was Network Solutions the last time as well | 18:23 |
| ChinnoDog | Looking for someone that has measured reliability of the registrars but I can't find any. | 18:26 |
