> So, everything is fucked. We have (had) a custom DNS system built into our custom ERP software (don't ask). It had an integration to our old (bind) nameservers, which was stragith up awful and we've been trying to replace it for years. Well, on Friday it all broke down. All domain information was wiped out and records became null. Our company's domain is down, as well as our customer domains (we're a medium-sized MSP). Every person who knew how the custom DNS system worked has left the company years ago.
Unclear why HN wastes time on this type of 'story' with no attribution and scant details. (I have expertise in this area let's say).
To start this implies that they have not added a customer or made a change in several years by this statement:
"Every person who knew how the custom DNS system worked has left the company years ago."
This also contradicts:
"and we've been trying to replace it for years"
