This morning, more often than not, nonexistent domain name access via http is returning timeouts. Overload? DoS? It appears, for whatever reason, that Verisign's scheme is not impervious to the inevitable consequences of arrogant behavior.
The service seems to have experienced about 30 minute downtime about an hour ago. On average, the redirect servers has responded in less than four seconds in the last 36 hours. This performance is far from what any commercial enterprise should provide. Performance seems to be worst from 9 UTC to 22 UTC, with best hours to access yourreallyreallynonexistentdomain.com are 1 to 6 UTC. Pete
