I use EasyDNS, but this issue didn't affect me personally.
EasyDNS has built-in integration with Amazon's Route53, which will automatically push your DNS records to Amazon when you change them on the website. What I've done is used the 3 EasyDNS nameservers along with 3 from Route53. When one service is being DoS'ed, the requests will timeout and move to the next nameserver.
- biot 15y agoThanks for the heads-up. I wasn't aware of the service before and just implemented this. For others, here's the gist. This assumes you've already got things setup for your domain in the route53 management console. In the easyDNS web interface: 1. Menu "Your Info": edit, set the "Beta Access" to "Beta User" 2. Menu "Preferences": set "Enable Route53 Support" to "Yes" 3. Manage domain, Domain Overview, "External" tab, click "route 53" 4. Fill in AWS Zone ID, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key (you can create dedicated access/secret keys for EasyDNS) 5. Click "Export from DNS" link and confirm Then go to your registrar and add the additional nameservers to your domain. Once setup, every change you make in easyDNS will propagate to route53.
