Suggestions for managed DNS provider?
Hi all, anyone have suggestions for very stable/reliable managed DNS? Neustar/UltraDNS is an obvious option to look at, just curious about alternatives. Cost effective would be nice, but stable under attack is better. Thanks, David

Not tested under attack, but this DNS provider is worth a look since it's the only one with both IPv6 and DNSSEC a colleague could find: http://www.dnsunlimited.com/ Rubens
Hi David - We use DynDNS at my company, and we're very happy with it. I've also used DNSMadeEasy at previous companies and found them to be rock solid and very affordable. I think about two years or so ago, they survived a full on botnet DDoS attack with no service outage - which my monitoring at the time confirmed as well. Hope that helps! --Jeffrey On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 5:58 PM, David Hubbard <dhubbard@dino.hostasaurus.com> wrote:

Hi David, I don't know "what exactly 'managed DNS' is" too, but Amazon Route53<http://aws.amazon.com/route53/>is very reliable (but not cost effective) AFAIK. Rackspace also have "Free Cloud-Based DNS Management <http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/dns/>", but I've never used it. You can find more information about "Free Secondary DNS" here<http://www.frankb.us/dns/> . César On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 6:29 PM, Jeffrey Negro <jnegro@advance.net> wrote:

Hm. Your colleague didn't look very far. All of the registries and registrars who use our DNS back-end have had both v6 and DNSSEC for a very long time, now. -Bill

Maybe Rackspace Cloud DNS.... still would so much rather manage my own DNS....

DynDNS was pretty decent for us. We had a fair amount of load with them and they handled it with no problem. On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 11:58 AM, David Hubbard <dhubbard@dino.hostasaurus.com> wrote:

I'm extremely happy with Dyn, for both personal and work (Twitter.) Their staff is fantastic and great to deal with. -j On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 12:08 PM, Mike Hale <eyeronic.design@gmail.com>wrote:

Agree with John, Dyn are awesome. - Register your external IP with a Dyn account, and start controlling which site categories or custom URL lists to allow/block. - Get very good reports of which sites are popular - Get reports of DNS requests for "known" bad sites -Petter -----Original Message----- From: John Adams [mailto:jna@retina.net] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 12:31 PM To: Mike Hale Cc: NANOG Operators' Group Subject: Re: Suggestions for managed DNS provider?

Not sure about attacks, or what exactly "managed DNS" is, but dns.he.net. is a very nice service, with many anycast servers in many of their POPs. The ns1.he.net. is an IPv4 unicast in Fremont, but ns{2,3,4,5}.he.net. are all anycast on both IPv4 and IPv6, usually to different locations (HKG, FMT, SJC, PAO, LAX, NYC, LON, FRA, AMS are just some of the locations I've seen), depending on where you're at. Linode also lets you use their DNS infrastructure without any restrictions as long as you're a Linode customer (they have 5 independent unicast IPv4/IPv6 servers, 4 in US, 1 in UK). C.
I have been a big fan of CommunityDNS cdns.net for many years. Their infrastructure is very robust and the prices very reasonable too. If there is anything that needs improvement, it would be their draconian reporting tool. Otherwise, it is hard to beat them for no non-sense reasonably priced DNS hosting. -----Original Message----- From: David Hubbard [mailto:dhubbard@dino.hostasaurus.com] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 7:59 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Suggestions for managed DNS provider?

It's not 100% clear what you mean here, resolvers or authoritative DNS, but, in either case, my suggestions are the same, OpenDNS has been reliable for me as a resolver service, and DynDNS (now just Dyn) has been great for authoritative and secondary nameservers for me. For authoritative nameservers I haven't looked for anything to deal with huge numbers of domains, just a few dozen. -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler

I've been using EasyDNS for some time and they've been very stable and reliable.
Another vote for Dyn, about 10% cost of UltraDNS and very similar features and way of billing (queries per second) Route 53 seems very popular as well. -- Martin Hepworth, CISSP Oxford, UK On 14 February 2013 19:58, David Hubbard <dhubbard@dino.hostasaurus.com>wrote:

http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com Cost effective. We use it for some level of failover and load sharing as well. -Raj Jalan @rjalan2 <http://twitter.com/rjalan2> On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 2:58 PM, David Hubbard < dhubbard@dino.hostasaurus.com> wrote:

If you have a dns server already, you can get some diversity for free with: http://puck.nether.net/dns/ of course, this week's outage not withstanding, puck has been pretty stable for me for this... On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 10:56 AM, Raj Jalan <raj@rajlog.com> wrote:

Thanks for all the replies everyone (on and off list), I've got some great leads I'm investigating now. David
