Is DNS safe again? - Githubissues

Verisign restored the DNS on Feb 2, but various servers may have cached values or may have sinkholed it.

I want to know if there are parts of the world that are still seeing different answers.

Thumbs up if you see the right results
Comment if you can see something different. Tell me where you are, roughly. Show me the result of dig whoami.akamai.net +short.

Here's the good DNS, with addresses in 151.101/16:

$ dig perl.com

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> perl.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9525

And here's the good WHOIS with name servers in *.BITNAMES.COM. It's back with Network Solutions now (Feb 5):

You can also use dig to see the name servers a particular server is using. Here's Cloudflare, for example:

$ dig @1.1.1.1 +short NS perl.com
ns2.us.bitnames.com.
ns3.us.bitnames.com.
ns1.eu.bitnames.com.
ns2.eu.bitnames.com.
ns1.us.bitnames.com.

perladvent / perldotcom
