[outages] GoDaddy DNS - Here We Go Again...

[Cary Wiedemann]

More than just their 'pdns' premium DNS servers are down today.
NS31.DOMAINCONTROL.COM and NS32.DOMAINCONTROL.COM ping but don't respond to
A or MX requests regardless of where I source from:

(From Savvis)
cary at brn-web-ftp:~$ dig +trace a sunriseseniorliving.com +short
NS m.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
NS c.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
NS g.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.

NS k.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
NS d.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
NS a.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
NS l.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
NS i.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
NS h.root-servers.net. from server 204.70.127.127 in 2 ms.
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

(AT&T)
root at CaryBox:~# host -t mx sunriseseniorliving.com NS32.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

As I typed this email 'NS31.DOMAINCONTROL.COM' came back up, but NS32 is
still down.

Their phone tech support says they can't find a problem.  And their status
page says "No Significant Issues":
http://support.godaddy.com/system-alerts/

Totally inexcusable.
