What makes you think the GoDaddy DNS zone is authoritative for all 53 million names they have registered? WHOIS information for aosake.net:***
[Querying whois.verisign-grs.com]
[whois.verisign-grs.com]
Whois Server Version 2.0
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
Domain Name: AOSAKE.NET
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com
Name Server: A.AUTH-NS.SONIC.NET
Name Server: B.AUTH-NS.SONIC.NET
Name Server: C.AUTH-NS.SONIC.NET
Registrar need not be the DNS authority. |

said by leibold:said by Name Game: Since GoDaddy is the authority record for all the domains in their DNS zone that is a big hit..53 million ? I have trouble understanding what you are trying to say. With "authority record" are you referring to the SOA (start of authority) record in each DNS zone file or do you mean something else (perhaps DNSSEC related which also has the concept of authorities) ? I have similar difficulty with "all the domains in their DNS zone". If you what you trying to say is that all of GoDaddy's customers lost their DNS service then that is clearly not the case. Anybody that is only using GoDaddy as a domain registry and uses his/her own servers for web, email and dns will not be effected by this (other then the inability to make any changes to their accounts). Nevertheless this is a big deal and a lot of GoDaddy's clients are likely using them not just as domain registry but also as DNS provider. GoDaddy goes down, Anonymous member takes creditPopular domain name registrar and Web and email hosting provider GoDaddy is experiencing a severe outage, one that appears to have taken out not only its hosted services, but even those websites that have registered their domain names through GoDaddy.
Background
Users started noticing the troubles in the late morning Eastern Time. Customers with GoDaddy-hosted email accounts and websites noticed the outage, as did at least some users who had registered their domain names with GoDaddy, even though their sites are actually hosted elsewhere. When pinged, websites registered with GoDaddy receive only a "ping request could not find host," message. The GoDaddy.com site itself went offline.
GoDaddy claims to be the world's largest domain name registrar. The company reportedly manages more than 48 million domain names and serves more than 9.3 million customers. » www.pcworld.com/business ··· dit.html |

I understand they were down, but has anyone verified it was anon, or even a member of the organization, as it seems to me it was someone acting on their own just before 9/11 (on that note - My sympathy goes out to the families involved).......does anyone wonder if there is more to be published if there is a network hole in GoDaddy, or we will all be seeing lock down on the Internet due to terrorist activity?
Don't get me wrong, but this one is one of the weirdest Internet issues to date. Mass hysteria with no real back bone...call me skeptical until the juice is out of the bottle.
It is already a very sensitive time for so many. |

Can't count how many times we've had clients ask, "Shouldn't we put that on The Cloud?" I've taken to responding by asking them what they think the cloud actually is. To-date, not a one has even tried to answer the question. I think our IT guys are soliciting bids from cloud providers. |

said by norwegian:I understand they were down, but has anyone verified it was anon, or even a member of the organization, The who and how is hard to know with certainty for anybody other then those who actually caused the incident (regardless whether it is was accidental or a deliberate act). said by Noah Vail:said by Name Game:GoDaddy's 77 name servers all have IP addresses in AS26496 So maybe he's got some kind of BGP poisoning going on. Name Game  pointed out that all the GoDaddy nameservers are in the same AS and Noah Vail correctly replied that BGP poisoning (or any other kind of BGP problem) could be responsible for making all of them unreachable at the same time. For those that don't know it, BGP stands for Border Gateway Protocol and is used in peering routers. Unlike LAN routers who tend to make routing decisions primarily on target IP address alone, border routers tend to use AS numbers in their routing policies with each AS (autonomous system) representing one or more IP address blocks. While this grouping of IP address blocks greatly reduces the number of policy rules and makes the router more efficient it also has the potential to spread the effect of a single incorrect entry to many separate IP blocks (in this case all locations of GoDaddy's nameservers). This lends credibility to GoDaddy's statement that a corrupt routing table was responsible for the outage. |

The fact that this was an internal problem (if it was) actually gives GoDaddy a bigger black eye than if they were hacked. |

I got that email also, but my filters didn't let their button make it through. Are you certain that it was legitimate? I suspected (and still do) that it could well be a phishing attempt, since I never click links received in unsolicited email... |

I do not know enough on networks, so generally speaking this could be a hardware/software related issue? The person publicizing himself or herself saying they will have to do it again to force GoDaddy's hand to tell the truth maybe just an internal employee looking for a minute of fame?
I guess we will only find out if facts are presented, but to save face as a business, GoDaddy may never want the factual truth published.

Assuming that the cause was a bad routing table a partial list of possible reasons includes: - a bad memory module in the router (hardware) - a software bug in the router software - a software bug in GoDaddy's network management software (pushing a bad policy update to one or more routers) - a GoDaddy employee making a typo and changing the wrong routing policy (or wrong change to the right policy) - a disgruntled GoDaddy employee intentional making a harmful change to the routing policies - an outside attacker gaining controlling access to either the router directly or to GoDaddy's network management system A lot of possibilities and very difficult for an outsider to prove one or the other. |

It is not impossible that is was unintentional, but where is the drama in bad QC these days? |
