Cloudflare is blocking lookups for archive.is
I posted too quickly, apparently this is a long running problem between Cloudflare and archive.is...
Compare ->
% host archive.is 1.1.1.1
archive.is has address 127.0.0.3
vs my machine running a proper local resolver:
% host archive.is
archive.is has address 62.192.168.106
vs Google Quad-8:
% host archive.is 8.8.8.8
archive.is has address 51.38.113.224
- bifrost 7y agoI also looked it up from archive.is's authoritative name servers: % host archive.is carl.archive.is archive.is has address 51.38.113.224
- berg01 7y agoSeems like archive.is is using DNS-based load-balancing/fail-over. My best guess is that the person/group that's running archive.is is having some operational issues right now and you caught that issue. For the record: from GCP (using default resolvers, e.g. Google) region europe-north1-a... archive.is resolves to 46.45.185.30.
- LinuxBender 7y agoThis is what I see 1.1.1.1: 127.0.0.3 1.0.0.1: 127.0.0.3 8.8.4.4: 5.196.68.232 8.8.8.8: 5.196.68.232 9.9.9.9: 51.38.113.224 208.67.220.220: 89.163.224.67 208.67.222.222: 89.163.224.67 [ Edit ] Found your answer [1] Interesting that they dont have a default fallback record if EDNS is not available. Some people (myself included) block it. They should look into Anycast. [1] - https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/ https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/
- bifrost 7y agoYeah, I eventually dug into it and saw the EDNS thing. I can understand why Cloudflare wants to not pass EDNS but they could also trivially assign a regional but dummy record...
