DirectAdmin / cPanel and Let's Encrypt

This error, BTW, was … wait for it … … DNS … I know, it’s always DNS:laughing:
(Don’t you hate it when you can’t flush cache at some server just beyond your reach?)

I like it. :sunglasses: My registrar’s DNS panel sets up DNSSEC easily, though … :thinking:

Do they still do that thing where their servers stop returning queries for your domain if they don’t detect your nameservers as being pointed to them? It causes an outage when switching NS if your visitors get the update before their servers do, which was the case for me the last time I used them (and why it was the last time).

Sadly yes.

I could use them as secondary/slaves … :thinking::nerd_face:

May I ask why?

We should take this discusion elsewhere as it’s clearly offtopic, however I shall answer here.

One of the few requirements for having a good anycast is making sure people are routed to the nearest node, not to the other side of the world.

Looking at their routing strategy, it’s clear why that’s not the case.

True, even as the OP (original poster acronym, iirc), I didn’t notice/reflect on this, as I found the discussion quite interesting. :smile:
