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.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Frank<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> Outages [mailto:<a href="mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org" target="_blank">outages-bounces@outages.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Grant Ridder via Outages<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, December 01, 2014 1:31 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:outages@outages.org" target="_blank">outages@outages.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [outages] DNSimple outage<u></u><u></u></span></p><div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">"We are seeing a system-wide DNS outage.
