Silly PUCK/Outages question

Hi,

  I hate to use NANOG for outages... But can anyone else get to
puck.nether.net or the outages.org list? A traceroute gets me into
Chicago with NTT and then dies...(Along with high ping times between
NY and IL for NTT)

  I'm looking to see if anyone has more info about an S&D power
event at 111 8th this morning. (And I contacted S&D and am getting
nothing from them).

    Thanks, Tuc/TBOH

outages.org doesn't even resolve here (cox in Omaha).

As regards Puck, so says Jared:

Not resolving on Comcast in Chicago either.

incorrect NS record setup maybe??

As I'm unable to resolve the DNS name, I can't reach them either. Their
secondary server in the whois is not giving correct info either

That too. We're moving the records we have over to anyns, which should
pick them up within the hour.

Perhaps you should report it to outages? :wink:

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com can't resolve it, either.

  Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

That one appears to have one DNS server that is up and down, but the other two are up and I'm able to resolve and access it from here (Comcast Business connection in Florida).

For outages.org, it appears that one of the two DNS servers is reporting a lame delegation (204.61.216.4), and the other isn't responding at all (204.42.254.5).

The two sites are not using the same DNS servers, so likely unrelated issues.

Seems to work for me now.

  Those that care:

  1) the outages.org ns issue should hopefully be resolved

  2) i've had a phantom issue that cropped up today and caused me to
toy with the system some. hopefully i won't have a need to touch it again
today and it can run for another 160+ days without issues.

  3) sorry that this happened on a day where all the PSIRT stuff
went out. I really do try to keep the host up 100% of the time, but as
most people here know, there are limits to that in reality.

  I now return you to your regularly secheduled depeering/abuse
discussion.
