DNS issues resolved I hope.
Pardon the pun in the title!
I was having a few issues with DNS which a few people have notified me about. Kieran wrote about it on his blog and Eoin noticed problems too. Traffic was steadily flowing in so I wasn’t sure if the problem was with my DNS or not.
Anyway it appears that it was a problem. So as of this morning I moved all my DNS zones over to a co-located server which Kieran has very kindly given me permission to do.
In other news, I submitted my previous entry comparing Ron Paul to Leisure Suit Larry to reddit last night. As expected my karma has hit almost rock bottom but my blog has nicely managed to handle a nice bit of traffic all the same. Given the problems that some ISP’s had connecting to my blog I’m sure the traffic could have been a lot more. Since my DNS changes have started to propogate I have noticed an increase in traffic. So steady as she goes.
27 queries. 2.583 seconds.
yup, she’s working now Bob!
Huzzah! It actually wasn’t up until this about 7:30 this morning when I realised I forgot to add blog.sweetnam.eu to the DNS.
yea, it wasn;t working last nite and early this morn, just assumed it was taking it time to replicate amongst the root servers etc…
Sorted… I have removed all your domains from my host file done the ip flush and all works fine. Your RSS now even loads in my Netvibes reader, it didn’t before even with the entries in the host file… weird but alls good now. cheers;)
It was very weird alright. I’ve noticed a traffic increase since changing to your DNS server. (Thanks for that too by the way). I’ve also noticed a few more bots and crawlers so I’m busy configuring htaccess and my firewall to block them.
