Re: Single Point of Failure said by Matt:Interesting, I've always thought of the registrars as a pretty critical single point of failure. Does anyone have a creative solution for this? Static IP with DNS backup.
Basically, the device uses the same static IP and if the login for it doesn't work, check the DNS to refresh the new static IP. Check backup DNS if the first one fails for login. Pretty straight forward really, that's what my Vonage router does, it can work in a DNS outage.

That's a good idea, but the problem with it is that the device has to support it. That doesn't translate well to a web infrastructure, or any email where the user has to input the information to reach the site.
I was thinking of something along the lines of multiple registrars for a single domain ... and if one returned an NXDOMAIN or any other sort of error, DNS would check the secondary registrar. I think my idea would require a significant change to the entire DNS infrastructure though.  | |
