[outages] Dyn outage continuing

[Darren Schreiber]

They run on different DNS servers. One was targeted, one wasn’t. The perpetrators clearly wanted to impact the most damage on commercial services, who are the ones who can afford Managed DNS services, so they picked those to target. Thus, your cheap services weren’t impacted because they weren’t the target.

The strangest thing was that while our premium Managed DNS ( Dynect ) domains were having issues, the 40 dollar ones I use for my own personal stuff were rock solid.   Guess that layer isn't high profile enough or something?

Which part of Dyn?  IIRC, there are multiple layers, and the cheaper
layer(s) weren't anycast and only in 5 locations on single IPs.
That's not saying that Dyn is bad, but some people like to tout them
as the end-all-be-all at $40/yr.... so as with anything you get what
you pay for.
