My company uses register.com for DNS hosting and we were hit by its troubles this weekend. I know there are companies that offer backup DNS services, but those seem to be aimed at companies that host their own DNS, which we're not really interested in doing at this time. Are there mainstream DNS hosting companies that allow customers to use a second company for their backup DNS? Does register.com allow this? -----Original Message----- From: Florian Weimer [mailto:fw@deneb.enyo.de] Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 1:49 PM To: Brandon Kim Cc: nanog group Subject: Re: Register.com DNS outages * Brandon Kim:
Times like this, makes you curious what kind of infrastructure register.com has? How does one protect against DDOS?
You can outsource your DNS, but you better retain a server locally on your network, so that you suffer less from that particular shared toothbrush.
