Almost exactly a year ago, Zerigo was down for over 6 hours.

Almost three years ago, DnsMadeEasy (which as far as I know dwarf DNSimple and Zerigo) had an outage after a massive attack.

Unfortunate that Zerigo did not (apparently) bother to deploy ddos protection after the event a year ago, and waited until this event to do so. This is part of their auto-reply to any emails to support:

"Zerigo has procedured DDOS mitigation services from Verisign and is in the process of integrating them into our network to prevent such attacks from compromising our DNS services in the future."

We got bit by the DNSimple outage so we switched to Zerigo. Glad I left DNSimple running as a backup!

Argh...I was just wondering what was going on. Route53 switch coming soon too!
