[outages] he.net Authoritative DNS Down

[Jared Mauch]

[disclosure further down]

	With the recent other DNS related outages, I'd like to remind people
of the wonderful RFC 2182.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2182.txt

Basically: don't put all your eggs behind or in the same ASN,
prefix or company.

	If you need off-net secondary there are many free services
out there.

	Also: consider IPv6 as providng a secondary path of
resilience.  If IPv4 is down or under attack (eg: twitter
this week, IPv4 was down, but IPv6 routes were not impacted)
let the protocols work for you.

	- jared

[i operate a free secondary dns service and welcome people to
 leverage it for your needs, https://puck.nether.net/dns/ ]
