[AusNOG] Optus outage last night?

[Narelle]

Well, my home gateway points at more than one DNS... as should all
home gateways... ns1.<providername>.au ns2.<providername>.au (from
memory) google-public-dns-a.google.com ...

So was ns1.optusnet.com.au *and* ns2.optusnet.com.au down? Or both being DoSsed?

One can't help wondering about dhcp settings... and redundancy architectures...
