I can tell that most people still have no access to Freethoughtblogs because of this DNS snafu, so I think I’ll go back to bed for a bit, and then putter off somewhere and tinker on other projects. Yell when you can see this.
Freethoughts is accessible to me again this morning. This must have happened within the last six hours or so (while I was sleeping the sleep of the innocent).
Oh, that’s right. You wanted us to yell:
Hey, PZ! It’s back!
Mattsays
All good. :)
Snoofsays
Works for me. I haven’t actually noticed an outage. Although I’m mostly connecting in Australia hours (UTC+10).

Looks good now, PZ, thank you. I can see this and post from work, too. Thanks for that as well.

Works for me.
Maybe because i’m in Germany. Who knows.
The “whois” command mentions fastdomain and bluehost.

I couldn’t get here on my phone, but I can on my home PC.
Also, I echo your sentiments on the layout of FTB. Its very “grandmom’s got her own blog!” Though, it isn’t terrible, it would be a turn-off if I didn’t already know the content was going to be worth a look.
Alexsays
I have never had a problem with freethoughtblogs yet (New Zealand, Firefox, Archlinux).
This may be because of the time difference, as someone already suggested, but on the other hand it’s 12.34 a.m. local, so maybe not.

No problem with from Poland. DNS resolving works fine all the time.
Adamsays
In a related complaint… why is FTB the only site online that will not update when I return to a page? The posts don’t change without a hard F5 refresh. I realize the page is being cached, but shouldn’t firefox notice the page content has changed?

Ooops. Spoke too soon. Flushed the resolver cache and it went back to the bluething thing. I’ll stick with the host file entry for now.

I can tell that most people still have no access to Freethoughtblogs because of this DNS snafu,
See, I said the problem wasn’t fixed. Part of the problem was fixed but if lots of folks have trouble getting here then the problem is not fixed.
Neil Rickertsays
I’m accessing without problems, due to a hosts file entry.
Last night, I checked my ISP’s dns servers. They were giving the wrong answers, and the wrong NS records they were using had a TTL of around 100,000 (a bit more than a day)
I checked again this morning. My ISP’s dns servers appear to all be giving the correct answers.
Note: ISP is AT&T; the particular servers that I see are regional, so not all AT&T customers will see the same servers. All customers may use the same DNS server IPs, but those IPs are for load balancing contraptions.
Otranregsays
I see it. No tentacles?
Edited my hosts file.
davemsays
Still doesn’t work in the UK without a hosts file update
I seem to need a Ctrl+F5 to get the latest contents though – otherwise, I’m not getting the latest content from the web servers. Guessing these pages need a content expiry flag set to prevent the browser from caching it.

Nerd of Redheadsays
Had no problem about 6 am central using Comcast at home. At work, unable to link until a couple of minutes ago.
Erulóra (formerly KOPD)says
I can see the page from home, but I had to do a workaround to get it at work.
Also, after this is resolved, there’s possibly another technical issue to look at. The comment system is not forcing logins. All somebody needs to do to impersonate me is put in my username and the email address associated with my WP account, and it will look like a post from me.
I’d suggest omitting the www. prefix before mucking with the hosts file, or, failing that, using Opera and activating the turbo feature.

Looks good… ish, PZ. I have a strange issue, though, in that if I click on the banner (currently the crocoduck) to get taken to the main pharyngula site on FTB, I get taken to the main site, only the postings start with the “How am I going to fit an MRI in the bedroom?” post. Perhaps it’s a cache thing.

BillFsays
The new site is working for me this morning. However, I follow Pharyngula through Google Reader and I did have to unsubscribe from the old address and resubscribe using the new address. Once I did that, things seem back to normal.
It came up via normal DNS for me at this time (3:55 pm EDT). Pretty sure I tried with no success about 3 hours ago.
triskelethecatsays
I can see this from home but now both Sciblogs AND FTB is blocked at work so I can only respond when home.
However, I do have to thank Richard Austin for helping me get the IP address inserted so I can read this (therefore I don’t know if the DNS is fixed or not)
triskelethecatsays
And obviously stress and getting home from work messes up my grammar.
Ahem. …both Sciblogs AND FTB are blocked at work…
Migsays
I can see the site, although I could not, in multiple attempts, earlier today. I considered editing my host file, but decided to wait things out.
themadkansansays
I switched my gateway’s DNS forwarder over to use OpenDNS’s servers, and the problem goes away.
…Did I mention that I hate my local cable comapny and their crappy internet service?
I can see it without having changed my “hosts” file.
Philip Leggesays
I’ve been obliged to use an addition to the Mac OS X hosts file since the move, and from my Internet connection here in Melbourne, AU, the DNS was still pointing to Bluehost as of 2:40 UTC on Wednesday, so the propogation of the new address is still trudging along slowly.
A hosts file is a configuration file which tells a computer the specific numerical IP addresses for other computers and their associated domain name. Normally DNS resolution from outside just works, so that the local hosts file residing on your computer only refers to “localhost” – which is your own computer, and which always has an IPv4 address of 127.0.0.1 (and a couple of IPv6 addresses such as ::1). The problem is, external DNS is b0rked and so it’s useful to add a hack to tell the computer to use a specific rule associating FTB to a particular IP address, rather than relying on normal external resolution.
On Macs, it takes a few seconds to add the hack: use the Terminal application in the Utilities folder (Command+Shift+U), type sudo pico /private/etc/hosts (or substitute your favourite Unix editor – no vi versus emacs wars please!), hit return and add the following line at the end of the file:
64.150.191.229 freethoughtblogs.com
Then save the file and do a hard reload in your web browser.
(I know the instructions are superfluous here at FTB, but similar posts have been made over at Sb.)
I can see everything okay, but the load times are so long, it’s hardly worth it. Every time TET reaches 400 comments, the thread is damn near impossible to load and gravatar hangs for close to forever.

So try refreshing your browser bookmark/fav by relinking via the old site or FTB’s new site if that loads for you.

No longer redirecting to Bluehost as of ~ 1200 UTC… and commenting seems to have picked up. No surprises there.
