Entire .SE TLD Drops Off the Internet

Posted by timothy on from the absolut-typo dept.

Icemaann writes "Pingdom and Network World are reporting that the SE tld dropped off the internet yesterday due to a bug in the script that generates the SE zone file. The SE tld has close to one million domains that all went down due to missing the trailing dot in the SE zone file. Some caching nameservers may still be returning invalid DNS responses for 24 hours."

    The downtime lasted 30 minutes, and most domains were probably cached by nameservers anyway.

    I once viddied an animated documentary about a small town in Colorado that lost the internet for 22 minutes. It was not pretty. Our hearts and minds go out to you, people of Sweden. I cannot even fathom what that would be like ... I hope the looting and rioting has died down with the restoration of the internet.

    DNS is very simple, but it's just as prone to human error as anything else.

    Are you kidding? I've been programming DNS for a long time, and if theirs one thing I learned, its that programmers like me don't make errors.
