I saw signifigant DNS server load issues on all our DNS servers this evening beginning around that same time. It looked as if either yahoo.com had an accident with their DNS or someone did some cache poisoning. We were passing out SERVFAIL to anyone looking up pretty much anything.yahoo.com...and there were lots of *.yahoo.com queries going on. No...I don't think it has anything to do with vanity NS records as below...but I was considering posting about the DNS issue anyway. On Tue, 19 Mar 2002, David McGaugh wrote:
Maybe it has nothing to do with it then, but No one saw a significant decrease in traffic with Yahoo between 17:00 PST and 17:15 PST?
