Secondary DNS Service Impacted

During the morning of August 28, 2012 starting at approximately 02:34 PDT, an excessive amount of high PPS UDP traffic was directed at our Secondary DNS service for several hours. In response we activated remote triggered blackholes with our transit providers for the impacted IPv4 addresses. During this time we monitored our netflow data in an attempt to minimize disruptions to Secondary DNS. Only IPv4 was impacted, queries over IPv6 were uninterrupted. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Primary DNS Update

We’re not going to be releasing the updated Primary DNS service in June as previously anticipated. Since the control center interface for it is being rebuilt from scratch we decided it was the best time to add a templating feature, which has been requested often in the past. This will make Primary DNS a bit more than the basic thing it’s been in the past, but hopefully worth the wait.
