Millions of .de Domains Unreachable For Hours

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wo-ist-jones.de dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Due to an error on behalf of DENIC, the German DNS registrar for second-level .de domains, millions of .de domains fell over the edge (auf Deutsch) of the Internet today. The cause of this GAU (GröYter anzunehmender Unfall = maximum credible accident) is still unknown, as DENIC officials haven't answered any questions from journalists at the time of writing."

    How hard is it to figure out this?

    Denic Probleme mit den .de-Rootservern? (Update 2)

    Derzeit lassen sich viele .de-Domains nicht auflösen. Schuld daran könnten Probleme auf Seiten der Denic sein, die die Rootserver für die Top-Level-Domain .de betreibt. Mittlerweile ist das Problem behoben.

    Problems with the root .de name server. Of course, it's funnier if you don't know that "die" is "the" in german: "die die Rootserver für die Top-Level-Domain .de" so in germglish it becomes "die, die, tld .de rootserver" OMG terrorist threat!
