JC_Denton: unfortunately, dns providers tend to get ddos'd
which is why i've shy'd away from it
:(
mhoran: how has your he.net dns experience been? i just started using it and it seems solid
No problems in years.
excellent to hear
couldn't find an easy way to allow axfr so i can have a non-he.net slave, but i probably didn't look deep enough
I just gave he.net slave from me.
mhoran: Really, you weren't affected by that nasty HE DNS outage last year? :P

I'm still fairly happy with them as well, but that incident prompted me to move all my DNS to Cloudflare. Returning a "yep nothing's wrong and your query just has no result" response was extraordinarily rage-inducing. Either be "down" or work properly, do NOT lie to clients.
Other than that incident, I've been a happy dns.he.net user and some of my clients are still using them.
Not that I'm aware of
Really? Wow. That lasted over a day.
That's what she said!!
(A weekday no less.)
Guess my cache time is high enough and it didn't affect the services I use?
I've an external MX in front of my own, so I didn't lose any mail.
buZz: I used he.net DNS for years.  after that incident, I moved to route53.
err,  ignore the "buzz" part :P
Strange. The SSH connection I left open is still connected, but I cannot even ping the IP -- even from the same laptop with the SSH connection.
Nothing at all in the pflog, nothing surprising in netstat (though obviously a shorter list of connections than normal).
Guess I'll reboot and hope for the best.
ARP Thunder as low 40 bucks for a month.
That is good.
