[outages] DNS SERVFAIL for nist.gov

[Matthew Huff]

Of course.

Like I stated in the original email, we don’t use NIST for time sync. We actually have a GPS and a PTP feed.

WE MUST, HOWEVER, VALIDATE OUR SYSTEM TIMES VERSUS THE INTERNET NIST SERVERS VIA FINRA REGULATIONS

Yes, it is stupid
No, it isn’t a good idea
FINRA specifically state that we MUST run a comparison and log any differences between our current time and Internet NIST servers. I have challenged them on this a number of times, but with no luck.

if we don’t want to get fined and prevented from trading, we have to follow FINRA regulations..
