dead.cell Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Was sitting here all like, "SOMEONE'S TRYING TO SCAM ME INTO LOGGING IN TO NEOW.IN!!" Then I realized no one in their right mind would try to steal my Neowin account. :laugh: Had to use Google's DNS to get here though. Just realized how badly I'd miss this site if it were gone...

LoR*Evanescence Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well, at least my mac is giving me some humor about this, when ever I type the short url autocorrect changes it to meow.in No go with COX's DNS, hopefully tomorrow. But I bet I will keep using the new short url from time to time=) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1199001-site-domain-outage-update/page/5/#findComment-596245449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted February 4, 2014 MVC Share Posted February 4, 2014 Still showing tons of DNS servers not updated yet. This is one of those lack of understanding/wrong use of terms that just gets my goat.. So I am compelled to try and correct what I feel is FUD that gets spread about dns servers updating. They do not get updated, there are servers where the TTL has yet to expire and have not gone and refreshed their info yet - they are still caching old data would be a better way to word it. The second an SOA creates or changes a record it is available to the world - changes do not propagate, etc. If you query any of the gtld servers, these are not roots - these are the SOA for the tld, hence the names of them - so say a.gtld-servers.net you see that the nameservers have a ttl of 172800 seconds or 48 hours.. ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: neowin.net. 172800 IN NS ns1.neowin.net. neowin.net. 172800 IN NS ns2.neowin.net. neowin.net. 172800 IN NS ns3.neowin.net. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns1.neowin.net. 172800 IN A 74.204.71.249 ns2.neowin.net. 172800 IN A 74.204.71.250 ns3.neowin.net. 172800 IN A 208.43.57.26 So if the current nameserver your using, be it your router, who asks your isp ns, or opendns or googledns, etc. etc.. If you feel that a record is stale or whatever - you can always just query the authoritative server for that domain directly, just look it up via a whois or simple query to the gtld servers yourself with your favorite tool, be it nslookup, dig or host, etc.. Now all those servers you list will continue to go ask other NS for neowin if they cached that badwhois ns entries which don't exist so queries timeout, etc. But once the ttl expires and a ns no longer caches something - it will sit there not knowing anything about that domain until someone asks for it there is no updating of anything other than the entries on the SOA. All other NSes query for it and then cache it for the length of the ttl. If your having issues resolving -- just query the ns for the domain directly, then your local dhs cache will keep that until the ttl expires.
