Ask HN: What do you do when your DNS fails?
Zerigo is having an outage right now on all name servers. This means all heroku apps using zerigo (the only DNS addon) probably don't resolve at their usual domain.
What do you smart people who have a plan B do when SHTF with your DNS?
- staunch 13y agoYou use a major provider. Providers that have the resources to defend against almost any attack. I trust Route53, Dyn, and Cloudflare. You can also use your registrar (but that often has limitations).
- danypell 13y agoI just use CloudFlare. They just can't really afford going down, and if they do, they're big enough to fix it quickly enough I guess.
- mike-cardwell 13y agoI use three separate and unrelated providers. The first being myself (a single Linode VM), and the other two: http://rollernet.us/ http://rollernet.us/ https://puck.nether.net/dns https://puck.nether.net/dns They both offer free backup DNS.
