Re: Fix Yer Servers

No, you are the ignorant one.

The entire data center went down because all the customers' domains had the nameservers set to ns1.nectartech.com and ns2.nectartech.com. The loss of the nectartech domain resulted in the failure of hundreds of other domains, because all these domains had NECTARTECH as their nameservers. If nectartech had added a second domain from a different registrar, all these other domains would not have been affected. Only nectartech.com would have been affected.

Oh. My. God.

How many rows are on the bus that picks you up each morning? 3, maybe 4?

I don't know how it can be explained any simpler than it already has.

The list you gave contains AUTHORITATIVE NAME SERVERS for the DOMAIN. Yes, you can have names servers at different providers.

However, the list itself is provided by a single REGISTRAR. You can have only one REGISTRAR per domain.

In this case, GoDaddy, the REGISTRAR, changed the AUTHORITATIVE NAME SERVER list so that the DOMAIN was effectively shut down. For example, instead of listing:

ns1.domain.com
ns2.altdomain.com

It listed:

ns1.otherdomain.com
ns2.otherdomain.com

which were two NAME SERVERS which were NOT AUTHORITATIVE and did not have configurations for the DOMAIN in question, therefore all DNS lookup requests FAILED.
