You can still get free dns from dyndns. You just have to renew it manually every 30 days. Not sure if new sign ups can do it by my existing account still can.

Was looking for a light dynamic DNS for my macbook so I could keep track of the book when it's lost or remotely access it.

Basically, if you want the best search engine rankings possible, use every trick you can find with your infrastructure. Fast DNS NS, static pages, use a fast web server, pre-gzip your content, use CDN

Works for Amazon Route53... But yea, lots of fast DNS servers is always a plus, and if Rage4 set up their system right, all they need to do is rent some VPS's in data centers in a few dozen locations

Do you really need 30+ DNS servers across the World,

Yeah, it's probably the best to switch to a hosted/managed DNS provider like Rage4 and if your domain only gets low traffic, it's even free!

You also get a free anycast DNS system within OnApp (unlimited domains/queries).

MXWatch is mistaken in believing DNS serials have to be of the format yyyymmddnn - it's just a counter and as long as it goes up when you change things it's fine.

I got continuously emails from MXWatch Monitor for one of my domains hosted in namesilo.com using their dns services also:

further up the thread worked a treat. To get DNS up, I also added nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf but I'm not sure if that's totally necessary.

It might have been because I forgot the dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 line. I can't really check now because I rebuilt the machine – accidentally picked 32-bit on the first try – and on the second t

This is the first I have heard of not having DNS resolvers setup correctly. I wonder if this was a one off issue. Can anyone else comment about having this issue?

Can you clarify a little? Does ifconfig not list the interface? Can you not ping the gateway? Can you not ping an external IP? Do you not have DNS?

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

If you run something like mtr against Google DNS for example 8.8.8.8. Is it running error free or are there dropped packets?

And another IP is being added to the DNS amp attack list right now.
