Seems really cool, I like this. One issue I'm having so far though is that after crawling my site it found one 404, and the link is (my domain)/page-not-found-test. It also says there's 0 inlinks to it, so I have no idea where it's getting the idea for this page from. It doesn't exist, but I've never linked to anything like it?


The Blue Steel has to stay


I can confirm this was not a DDoS, and we are actively working to fix the issue right now. We'll be updating our status page as soon as we have more updates to deliver.


Do you have any ETA? Sorry, I don't mean to be an ass, it's just our entire business is currently down because of this.


I understand, and I don't have an ETA quite yet, but it appears that service is already starting to return. I've tested my domains hosted on Linode and a number of others that I know are and they appear to be working now. We're still working asap to ensure everything is coming back appropriately.


Everything seems to be back now in our case. Thanks!


Thank you for even that partial info. We can confirm that we're seeing some response now.


Isn't half the point of having 5 bloody DNS servers is that they shouldn't _all_ go down at the same time?

Get it together Linode!


The internet facing part of Linode's DNS service is hosted by Cloudflare.


I don't understand... can you expand?


They have a pretty silly DNS reverse proxy setup with cloudflare.

Silly because their backend servers appear to still be on the internet, e.g. ns1.linode.com at 69.93.127.10


You're right, and the downtime was inexcusable. We've learned from what happened and are continuously working to upgrade and better protect our network, and periodically report on our progress on our blog: https://blog.linode.com/2016/05/02/network-status-updates-ap...
