.org was dead from large parts of the net yesterday for more than 2 hours: http://www.cymru.com/DNS/gtlddns-o.html
This is at least the 2nd time this has happened (last time I have recorded is 10/16/2003). The outages on both occasions have been side-effects of the fancy anycast announcements that UltraDNS use for .org. They only include 2 hostnames in the NS records for .org: ;; ANSWER SECTION: org. 86400 IN NS TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. org. 86400 IN NS TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. 166716 IN A 204.74.112.1 TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET. 74600 IN A 204.74.113.1 Is there someone within Tucows/OpenSRS that has a relationship with PIR and could help bring this to their attention? .org shouldn't be less reliable than .com/.net, but since PIR.org took it over it has been MUCH less reliable. Thanks! -j
