From the AWS status page:

"Some customers have reported intermittent resolution issues with .io domains. We can confirm that Route 53 DNS services are operating normally at this time and these issues seem to be related to the .io top-level domain provider."

I run a DNS monitoring service and have had a number of customers contact me about this in the past couple hours. Most of them were using Route53, but this is an issue with the IO authoritative nameservers, rather than Route53 itself.

Same here, also using Route 53.

I was certain I was getting DDoS'd, but then I inspected the Pingdom down notifications and seeing: DNS error

Same here on Route53.

This is almost completely irrelevant, but what are you doing where you jump to DDoS before misconfiguration or a service outage?
