[Outages-discussion] [outages] DNSimple outage

[Frank Bulk]

Reading through some of the twitter commentary I get the impression from many network admins that they feel this was out of their control.  They could have avoided an outage by using multiple nameservers across multiple providers.  Don’t put all your namserver eggs on one IP, one server, one subnet, one prefix, one AS, one peer, or one DNS provider.  Simply having an additional well-functioning nameserver in another AS with another provider can avoid a world of pain.
