I’ve been meaning to write out this for the past week and just haven’t had the time.
Last weekend, I was thrilled to get a call at midnight from someone on my team telling me that one of our primary authoritative DNS servers was having issues. We have 3 so this typically isn’t a huge deal but seeing as this is the one that the others sync off of, it tends to get a higher priority.
Recently, I have begun the process of moving my domains from the DNS servers at my previous employer. They have allowed me to continue hosting my domains there as I still send them a spam feed of unknown addresses from my various domains. Yes spammers, keep that mail coming. Its only doing you good, I promise 😉
The main reason for the change is that the former employer is locking down the admin access to a standard that as a non-employee, I can no longer get to the admin interface.
