<div dir="ltr"><div>I disagree. DNS, just like SMTP or NTP or any other key protocol like that is a key part of a network operators field of work, particularly if you work for a carrier. If something breaks with (global) DNS i guarantee people will be running to the Netadmin / ISP tech support first. A couple years back telstra broke their main DNS server and all the media outlets reported it as a network outage by telstra not as a DNS outage. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Folks, Our public DNS provider appears to have zigged where they should've zagged and restored a DNS server from backup that then immediately began dishing out old IPs for our domains. I am trying to trace down where the bad records are and where the good ones are to give brass an idea of impact, but it looks like Telstra doesn't publish a looking glass anymore. Can some Telstra customer give me an idea whether <a href="http://b2b.covermore.com" target="_blank">b2b.covermore.com</a> is resolving to <span style>203.161.138.9 or </span>103.247.65.9?</p>
