We are currently experiencing an Denial of Service Attack against DNS1, DNS2 and DNS3 anycast strands.

We are working on mitigation and will post updates as they become available.

UPDATE 7:55 PM EST:

Our mitigation techniques have brought the dns2.easydns.net anycast cluster back online, which should resolve slow response or timeout issues for end users. We are still experiencing attack traffic, but are working hard to minimize impact. We’ve also managed to identify the target of the attack, and are working on resolving the issue in that direction as well.

Further updates will be posted as they come available.
