Over the weekend, I wasn’t able to access this site, because Internic’s nameserver couldn’t find it. I know that the site was up, because I was able to reach it from a public terminal. But, since I didn’t know the site’s IP, I couldn’t use it from home. Does anyone know anything about what was causing the problem?
You will see that it happens from time to time, dns servers aren’t any more stable than everything else.
True. However, since Internic is a major top level server, I would not be surprised if it is actually composed of multiple servers for redundancy, and I would not expect it to go down easily. And regardless, I only mention it as one of a set of servers that wasn’t able to see this site over the weekend, it being the most significant of the bunch. I was asking in case there was anything out of the ordinary going on that anybody knew about.
