.org is having a tough day

by David Ulevitch on Apr 30th, 2007

We’ve gotten a couple emails about trouble resolving .org domains today. There’s nothing wrong on our end but it looks like .org has been having a rough day.

Here’s a picture for you network nerds out there…



(key: more red == more bad)

As a reminder, you can always use CacheCheck to try it again. And seriously, what other DNS provider gives you this kind of control? :-)

    Hm, every .org thing I use resolves just fine. Drupal, Wordpress, etc.

    Masa,

    Same for me… I’m just passing the buck here. Just kidding…

    Dot-org *was* having issues…our large caches mostly caused it to be a non-issue along with the fact that they remained reachable for most folks through the day. That said, we got a few emails and thus the blog post. :P

    Why not offer to help them out? :)

    I feel like you can run the registry on your existing infrastructure without even beefing up your servers.

    Good work with everything you’ve done.

    I am having problems with one .org domain I help host but not others.. this is as of today.. are these problems still known to be occuring?
    both registrar settings and local DNS settings all appear good.
