+kbootb Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Is it just me or has geocaching.com and the forum site been dead today? I hate to get technical, but the domain was actually missing from every UK DNS server I could find today, effectively they did not even exist. More than just the server playing up. I have to say, I have no idea who to tell when I see the server is dying. Link to comment
Deego Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I belive its a firewall problem. as mentioned here and here Link to comment
+kbootb Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Thanks for the links but a firewall failing would not remove their entry from a UK DNS. The address was unresolvable for at least 4 hours. I have no idea if their entry went from US DNS. Somewhere up the chain their domain name had been damaged or removed and needed to be re-propogated. A fairly major problem. A firewall failing would still allow the name to be resolved but access to the server would fail. Any way, all is back and the hunt for the elusive plastic box can continue.

+DomHeknows Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 it was resolving with demon and pipex when I tried it - just not getting through the firewall. Link to comment
