Comcast DNS Outages More Severe than Previously Thought
In: smp
14 Apr 2005Now, I never even heard about this Comcast outage until this morning. [here]
One reason that I likely didn’t notice it is that I run my own caching name servers on my home network. I do this because I have never trusted any provider’s overworked name servers (goes back to the history of the industry I work in; more on that some other time).
This is still a fairly crippling outage. Surely there is some redundancy in the Comcast name server infrastructure…please?
There is a list of possible workarounds to this problem linked from here.
