DNS outage earlier today
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2015 3:36 am
There seemed to be an issue with our DNS server earlier today, at first I did not figure it was down long enough to be an issue but it sounds like it was an issue. This would have affected anyone trying to connect while not affecting anyone already connected or who happened to have the DNS info cached somewhere on their network.
I'm really not sure what happened there but this would have affected all of our sites and services.
I will be looking into the possibility of having a backup DNS server to avoid this from happening again. On my new web server the DNS has been rather flacky at best so it's a ticking time bomb.
In case it goes out again the shard direct IP is 47.55.17.57. Keep in mind that this IP is dynamic since my ISP does not provide statics, but it should stay the same as long as I don't need to reboot the firewall or ONT. Continue to use login.uovalor.com but just keep this IP handy.
