I had a cpanel dns server get borked this morning too (Image)

DNS attack that led to a complete network failure. Nice.

They are working, but appears lookups for some DNS providers are not timely responding/failing.

There was a cpanel dns-only update that failed on one of our name servers. Not sure if it was a bind issue or what but there might be others having issues out there with a software update.

Anyone else noticing any strange failures in DNS lookups today?

The DNS didn't go down so people could still access my site (I just used CloudFlare DNS at the time). CloudFlare had another outage back when I still used Pro and had the always online feature enabled

If you are running a site no one reads and is a hobby, then you can use any DNS solution including free.

Because having ns1.{yourdomain} is way more l33t-like than dns1.{insertfreeproviderdomain}

I run my own DNS servers...

Should start working again soon, we changed the IP of the domain, but the DNS update was ignored. http://198.147.20.15/test100m.dat should work in a pinch.

HE DNS doesn't support wildcard.

Geo-dns or other options, or you just want total control of your infrastructure. Personally I just use he.net, supports up to 50 domains for free which is plenty, and it's rock solid backed by a profe

I have no need to use my own DNS Server, we just use CloudFlare. (Image)

So I've been seeing a lot of people with their own DNS servers. Why would you do that instead of using something like cloudflare DNS or some other free DNS service?
