DNS Upgrade Complete!
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 4:16 pm
So if any of the sites start misbehaving, you know why!
Otherwise, though, they should all work faster and better now, and not appear to be down when they are not really. The old DNS was pretty bad and occasionally failed to work or was VERY slow. The new one is distributed across five servers compared to the old two, and faster boxes with less load too. MUCH improved.
If you have any issues in the next 48 hours, flick me an email if you have my address.
Thanks to Dave for his help and advice and Jammi for complaining in the first place!
