We noticed some issues to Google & Level3 DNS last night:

8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 4.2.2.2

1/23/14 00:55:17 - 00:55:47 (UTC-5) 1/23/14 01:09:32 - 01:11:03 (UTC-5)

Have not yet determined if it was a local carrier issue.

Someone on outages@outages.org reported issues getting to eBay / Paypal IP's at roughly the same time.

I wonder if there was a general brief carrier issue last night.

We're starting to see errors with Go Daddy DNS. Is anyone else experiencing issues?

always helps to have examples of the problems... ie: I did - dig www.godaddy.com @8.8.8.8 I expected:

;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.godaddy.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.godaddy.com. 29 IN CNAME www.godaddy.com.edgekey.net. www.godaddy.com.edgekey.net. 550 IN CNAME e8804.a.akamaiedge.net. e8804.a.akamaiedge.net. 14 IN A 23.79.77.116

but I got: ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.godaddy.com. IN A www.godaddy.com. 14 IN A zippidy-doo.com!.

I should be clear that there are no bangs (!) in dns.... so this above is clearly fictious dig output (the first instance is actual output... I was lazy and copy/pasted edited the output.

I made my query from the north-east elbonian region of youville.

also, there is no elbonia... there may be a youville though, and i'm sorry for slurring the youville inhabitants with the stink of elbonia :(

You sure? Over the years, I've dealt with a lot of gear designed and built there.

Hell; all of China's traffic got mysteriously routed there last week... http://news.techworld.com/security/3498153/mysterious-networking-error-stifl... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

the dns is 8-bit clean. bangs, dots (not as separators), blanks, etc. are all valid. some applications may have trouble with use of some of these :)

Not in the right-hand side (RDATA portion) of a type A record. The 32 bits will be interpreted as the bits of an IPv4 address, which are always 4 numeric values (0 to 255) separated by dots. "www.godaddy.com. 14 IN A zippidty-doo.com!" Is right out. If it were a "HS TXT", CH TXT, IN TXT, IN CNAME, IN NS, IN MX, IN SRV, or other similar fields, then sure.
