For some reason, my laptop didn't bother to honor the pushdns directive in the certificate.

You could work with a floating ip for the proxy servers. Monitor the servers and change the attached node when things go down. Works like a charm. We also make use of a powerdns setup. The domain is s

So, I carried out some researching in the hope of finding a DNS server that upon an NXDOMAIN redirects the request to an ad-serving page. It appears that Level 3 now do this, so as a test I set my Ope

"hostname": "google-public-dns-a.google.com",

So, I admit that I'm now more confused than I was when I first started. It would appear that when connected to my VPN through my wireless access point, all DNS entries are intercepted - this can be se

Therefore, my question is, is there a way to do health checks of the servers (ping, http request) and serve the IP of the server that is up, to the end user, via DNS?

What's the guideline on pricing for managed? $10/mo for a 512MB SSD, $20/mo 512mb SSD for site migration, DNS, email, By-Hand Nginx+Redis Tuning, New Relic Performance monitoring? Would it be better t

It sounds like I may need to differentiate a bit then. Basically Standard sounds about just right for doing consultant work and launching them on the service (I could think of a million ways of doing

It seems 512MB RAM and 25GB disk is overkill as to DNS server.

* I just want to use it as DNS (backup) server. So i don't need much datatraffic. Maybe 10GB/month?

I have their 256MB/100GB box for two years now. I have had similar experience as the posters above in their disk performance, but the little thing is pushing 600 day uptime in any moment now and that
