- bitJericho 11y agoYeah I mean it takes work to do it correctly. I wouldn't call it a cluster fuck.
- takeda 11y agoOnly if you don't know what you're doing. The problem with DNS is that it might work even when it is misconfigured, and misconfiguration is the source of strange issues.
- camikazeg 11y agoI think that we all have areas where we don't know what we're doing. This is one of mine. With all the talk of how obvious/important/easy it is to have a failover in place in case this happens, I'm having trouble finding a good resource about setting up a redundant DNS. Running a droplet on Digital Ocean with Debian and Nginx.
- zaroth 11y agoSounds like we're begging for someone to write a nice blog post for how they set up redundant DNS across multiple providers "the right way"... Sounds like it would hit the front page in short order if anyone is willing to share how they think this should be mitigated, and specifically how to expect common clients to behavior in that case when faced with the various types of outages that may occur!
