Apparently the issue is a massive DDoS attack on EasyDNS (or, to be more accurate, one of their customers domains according to their Twitter account).
DNS Made Easy is a very good provider (in fact, I strongly recommend them), but they have also been subject to a DDoS attack in the past.
Unfortunately this is something that can happen with any provider. The only answer is to use multiple providers. DNS Made Easy, Dyn, and ZoneEdit (among others) all offer this service. | |

| Re: Zerigo Yep. This is what every SMART site does - use more than 1 DNS provider. Preferably 3 of them. Our important corporate sites use 1) in-house, 2) provider A and 3) provider B. Thus to effectively take down DNS for any of those resources someone would have to successfully DDoS 3 completely different networks. Not impossible but a much higher bar.
Aside... I wish OpenDNS would start running a managed DNS hosting service on their infrastructure!

Web acceleration will enable you bring about a drastic improvement in the web page response time. This kind of acceleration usually come in lesser costs and offers the best web application performance. | |

kudos:14 | DSLR/BBR, stop using EasyDNS This outage has been discussed on the official outages mailing list. I pointed out in my post that DSLR/BBR's official NS records refer to 5 EasyDNS nameservers -- except of those 5, there are only two unique IPs, so really you aren't getting anything more than primary and secondary DNS.
Karl0  et al, I would strongly advise you reconsider what DNS provider you're choosing to use for your domains here. Any DNS provider which solicits use of 5 FQDNs yet hands out only 2 unique IPs is a provider who probably doesn't understand the term "redundancy". E.g. it gets you nothing more than standard primary/secondary DNS (no tertiary). Heed my words!

kudos:14 | I'm familiar with it, but I was not lead to believe EasyDNS implemented it. Googling a bit, I see they implemented anycast in late 2011 -- not slamming them for that, just saying prior to now I was under the impression they weren't using it.

»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast
Those two IPs could be pointed to 1,000 servers, of which you are directed to the nearest single server based upon your routing.
As noted at their page here, EasyDNS, uses Anycast, so at a minimum, DSLR is hosted by 14 nameservers, at maximum, 25. | |

No one could've predicted this. I'll be checking ZoneEdit and see if they've gotten nailed.

What rogue domain? A link to this info if you have one?
Edit: EasyDNS claims it was a porn domain and that easydns will no longer accept porn or gambling domains as clients from now on.

| |  DNSResolvers.com cache1.dnsresolvers.com -> 205.210.42.205
easyDNS launches DNSResolvers.com: no frills, pure DNS lookups – fully patched
Some of our members have expressed reservations around using any DNS resolver that "alters" the traffic in any way, including typos and non-existent domains. Which is good news for us, because we've done this so fast we haven't had time to build anything like that even if we wanted to. What we did want to do is provide a couple of DNS resolvers for use by our members (or anybody else) who just want to know they're using a system run by people who are actively following this situation and are proactively keeping their own resolvers and caching nameservers as secure as the protocol allows.
With this in mind we've turned up DNSresolvers.com today. No website, no user interface, at the moment it's just a couple of resolvers with the latest security patches in place and that will continue to do so, open to use by anybody who wants. We have no idea where this will go, and it's not really an official easyDNS "service" per se. But we wanted to do something to give our members options.
If you want to use DNSresolvers.com, the details are as follows:
cache1.dnsresolvers.com -> 205.210.42.205
cache2.dnsresolvers.com -> 64.68.200.200 | |

Riverside, CA | DNS Benchmark DNS performance not only includes the performance of the server itself, but the location of the server in relation to the user as well. In essence, one DNS server does not fit all. For example, people continuously tell me to use Google's DNS servers. However, I routinely receive subpar performance when using their DNS servers. DNS server performance is better checked by each individual user. Thus, running Steve Gibson's DNS benchmark utility is the best way to tell which DNS server will meet the needs of an individual user. | |
