  1. resolved

    At this time, we have concluded the emergency maintenance and customers who have experienced difficulties due to yesterday's DNS maintenance should see DNS functionality returned to normal. We urge any users who are utilizing our name servers for vanity DNS to update their glue records with their registrars by pointing them to the new ns[1-5].linode.com IP addresses, as there will be a forthcoming announcement regarding the cessation of DNS query service from our old name server IP addresses. We do apologize to those customers who experienced problems due to yesterday's change and will provide more information regarding our DNS changes soon.
