Anyone else having trouble reaching backupdns.com or their nameservers?

A plug for the secondary dns service I run (free!)

+9

it's also v6 enabled (if that matters to you) and pretty simple to setup/use.

Thanks Jared!

Someone should probably update the FAQ if that's true.

Q: Do you support IPv6?
not respond to IPv6 transport requests, nor can we perform zone transfers from IPv6 addresses.

A: The nameserver software supports IPv6 records, but we currently can not
respond to IPv6 transport requests, nor can we perform zone transfers from
IPv6 addresses.

huh?? (dig over ipv6, seemingly working for me)

axfr's seem to also work:

dig AXFR rarc.net @2001:470:e03a:246:230::2

methinks your v6 pathings are foobar??

-Chris

I will correct this later.

My v6 is fine, I didn't write this:

I've added a bit more text to this page, constructive comments and feedback are welcome regarding the service.

- Jared

I saw that the FAQ is updated but maybe there is one small thing left
to correct? When I add a zone and give an IPv6 address as the master
IP it just says "Unable to axfr that domain from that IP." and no
connection attempt is logged on my side.

Thanks for the service. Have you thought about making it reciprocal?
If you are prepared to secondary for me then I am prepared to
secondary for you :slight_smile:

-Phil

Can you please check again? I found something that was causing AXFR to not work for IPv6.

If not, we should take this off-list.

Thanks for all the bug reports and feedback.

- Jared

Ditto (puck.nether.net +9).

Thanks on behalf of everyone, Jared.

For those wanting further diversity, I also recommend using any or all of:

everydns.net
twisted4life.com
afraid.org

Also easy to use and set-up, IMHO. YMMV.
