I guess our customers aren't that silly. I did notice some big sites down though. I tried to check a price with Tech Data earlier this evening and found that www.techdata.com didn't exist. Traceroute to their nameserver(s) techdata.com. 2D IN NS NS1.techdata.com. techdata.com. 2D IN NS NS2.techdata.com. NS1.techdata.com. 2D IN A 169.153.202.40 NS2.techdata.com. 2D IN A 169.153.202.41 ends in a CW routing loop suggesting TD shut off their connection for the evening.
Putting your only name servers on the same subnet (unless Tech Data has VERY small subnets) isn't very smart no matter what day it is. Too many things can take down your one network. Instead of queueing mail, many mail programs will generate permanent errors and immediate bounces. Gun, Foot, Self.
