DNS failing today

My systems have largely ground to a halt due to DNS problems that began sometime in the last 12 hrs.

This is what I'm seeing in the logs.

  • Hi, Dougga,

    There's no rDNS PTR record for either of the IPs in your first post and 139.142.2.3 is indeed a lame server, so that all looks good to me.  Are you configured like DNS Best Practice?  Did you try #1 in Rulz.

    Cheers - Bob
