Hi,

Anyone else seeing resolving issues on WORLDNIC.COM DNS servers?

Sincerely,

Yes I am seeing this also, getting calls from many clients that cant
resolve domains with netsol dns

Yep. One of my clients domains seems to be gone.

I can also confirm that nearly all of the 'NSXX.WORLDNIC.COM' servers are
either slow to respond or down completely. I just posted this message to
the 'outages.org' mailing list:

Anyone else seeing massive DNS issues this morning, particularly with
Network Solutions' "hosted zone" servers?

langsam:~# whois carywiedemann.com | grep "Domain servers" -A 3
   Domain servers in listed order:

   NS43.WORLDNIC.COM 205.178.190.22
   NS44.WORLDNIC.COM 206.188.198.22

langsam:~# host carywiedemann.com 206.188.198.22
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Seems to be affecting far more than just my personal domain:

langsam:~# whois blueridgenetworks.com | grep -A 3 "Domain servers"
   Domain servers in listed order:

   NS23.WORLDNIC.COM 205.178.190.12
   NS24.WORLDNIC.COM 206.188.198.12

langsam:~# host blueridgenetworks.com 206.188.198.12
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

langsam:~# whois blueridge.com | grep -A 3 "Domain servers"
   Domain servers in listed order:

   NS33.WORLDNIC.COM 205.178.190.17
   NS34.WORLDNIC.COM 206.188.198.17

langsam:~# host blueridge.com 206.188.198.17
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I don't believe any of these NSXX.WORLDNIC.COM servers are anycasted... is
anyone else having trouble?

Not a peep out of their Twitter feed.

Thanks everyone.

I am getting very slow responses from their DNS servers. Maybe a DDOS against their DNS?

Recommend alternatives?

Yes. We started getting calls from customers with domains using
*.worldnic.com (i.e. Network Solutions) in the last 15 minutes or so.

I noticed Kaiser uses them, sites not resolving.. This should be a fun day for call centers :frowning:

It's at least permanente.net which they use for some of their sites:
