BTW, do you mean nameservers down, webservers down, or something else? Did the Internet break?Would be interesting to see the RFO for that one, including the "why we didn't have any DNS servers offsiteThey colo in more than a half-dozen facilities around the world.or used anycast to at least limit amount of damage".I also have information from a pretty good source that they actually do quite a bit of anycast.
There are two sides to rcom, the mom&pop side (aka register.com) and the partner side (Rconnection, for folks with ~25+ domains registered). On the mom&pop side they don't have (as far as I am concerned) a highly redundant and distributed DNS system. That opinion is based on a few hours of research abt 2 years ago. Over on the partner side they outsource the DNS systems for their customers to eNom, which does use a highly redundant and distributed anycast setup. I haven't seen any problems wrt DNS for my systems today (eNom via rcom), so I can only presume the OP was referring to the mom&pop side of rcom. -Jim P.
