DNS & Connectivity Issues







Today just after noon (edt) our Qwest internet connection (not the one the 
EDU server is on) went down. I was in the middle of upgrading the DNS 
servers so it frustrated that task enormously.

Qwest seemed to have the service more or less restored by 4:30 PM or so. 
At that time I noticed an email from AT&T saying that they had monitored 
outages on our AT&T circuit (the one the EDU server is on). Apparently 
this was of an intermittent nature.

Apparently Verizon had a fiber cut somewhere....

The result is that DNS was probably down for 5+ hours and the connection 
otherwise intermittent. There may still be DNS issues but I am too tired 
to dig too deeply until tomorrow. 65.118.27.2 was probably configured as a 
secondary dns in /etc/resolv.conf on edublog. It might be better to change 
that to 208.67.222.222 (opendns.org) as 65.118.27.2 is no long active.
