I get the Rely.net page when I navigate to H-T.

Also my IM is buggy - can't find page with both Mozilla and IE

Also can't post or edit - get error msg

Not Found
The requested URL /zeromodify was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.29 Server at status.rely.net Port 80

Anyone else having this problem?

I've never had this problem before

 

yes, this **** is making me want to kill myself

 

yeah, are they working on the site??

 

Maintenance or DNS upgrades, go polish your manifold or something, I'm sure it will be fixed in an hour or four.

Yup it was doin it to me all day yesterday too.

 

It's been that way lately. It's pingable and traceable so I have a feeling that it's a DNS problem...

 

it down and up at times

 

making my life boring LOL

Okay, So I decided to take a look at it.

The authoritative DNS server is ns1.rely.net (66.81.238.245) which appears to be an OPEN DNS server, and will do recursive lookups (there may be a reason for this, but is unlikely). That's probably the issue, H-T should take that up with their host, and see if there is excessive load on DNS queries.

Also, another thing I noticed, ns2.rely.net is reporting as a parent server but is missing as a nameserver, which causes even more load on ns1.rely.net. They should really get the records fixed.

See, this is what I get to do at work all day

I don't understand the part that is italicized and bolded.

 

It means that anyone in the world can do dnslookups through ns1.rely.net

for instance, on your computer right now, you can find out what yahoo's IP address is, THROUGH ns1.rely.net


nslookup yahoo.com ns1.rely.net

That puts load on the DNS server, if a bunch of people were doing that at once, it could cause the site to fail.

when looking at the A records for the host it shows that both ns1.rely.net and ns2.rely.net are the parent servers, but only ns1.rely.net will do dns queries on the domain (name server) hence ns2.rely.net doesn't really do anything.

Anyway, these may or may not be a part of the problem happening today, I'm just stating it looks like it could be related, and is certainly not helping anything.

 

Yeah, I have been having problems those last few days.

I can't imagine the server cluster they have to keep this place running... my forums are a 1/12th the size of this one and I already have too many.

 

I'm more impressed with the amount of bandwidth H-T has. They get tons of traffic, and the site *usually* runs pretty quickly, as opposed to nasioc.com or some of the other mega forum sites.

 

Life at work sure is long without honda-tech
