So we now run a split view with DYN and AWS. My biggest issue with AWS is again they are a large attack surface, but also they don’t really play super nice with others and no DNSSec.

We are currently evaluating the Netflix denominator tools to spread DNS and sync our alternate providers.

My biggest problem during this outage was that I could not login to my registrar and make change to DNS directly - I had to login to DYN and ADD Route 53, it was impossible to remove DYN completely. And that's how we landed up with a split view.

NOW if anyone can tell me of a competitor for the Traffic Director product that works on Port 25 I'll be happy to consider a migration. Cloudflare has something in the works, but I’d really just like a DNS provider with a virtual load balancer that can handle my 250qps at a reasonable price.
