I think I'm seeing problems performing recursive queries for names under ORG against tld[12].ultradns.net at the moment, which is causing resolvers without cached data to behave as if domains don't exist.
It's not trivial to tell whether this is just a local problem, since all the authoritative nameservers for ORG are anycast instances (i.e. I might just be unlucky in that my local tld[12].ultradns.net nodes are behaving unexpectedly). Is anybody else seeing issues?
That might explain the complaints some of my customers are getting from people unable to send email to them at their .org domains. What I'm seeing is this: Even though my name servers are working correctly and answering up the correct information for the .org domains in question, a rather disturbing number of people are receiving bounce messages which indicate that the domain doesn't exist. Note that the domains in question are all .org domains and are not expired. Unfortunately, I cannot identify a pattern to where these people who are having problems are since I do not have enough information. I am also not seeing any unusual behaviour with .org domain resolution from my name servers. -- William Astle finger lost@l-w.net for further information Geek Code V3.12: GCS/M/S d- s+:+ !a C++ UL++++$ P++ L+++ !E W++ !N w--- !O !M PS PE V-- Y+ PGP t+@ 5++ X !R tv+@ b+++@ !DI D?
