Thumb Up

We use UltraDNS in the UK and it had absolutely no impact on any of the 20 or so domains that we host with them.

When the sales guy called me last year he assured me a DDOS attack wouldn't have and effect on them.

Never trust salesmen.

All back now, I would like to see the exact details of vuln that took them down. But still if I had secondary dns I would not have had a problem.

My bad....

"a redundant DNS server is about $10 or $15 per domain per year"

I don't follow the logic. Rent space in a server farm and put in your own box for about £100 per year ..
