DNS isn't zero-trust.

One of the reasons blockchain *seems* compelling for P2PDNS is because it is permissionless.

But there are other trade-offs in using a blockchain as a naming root. Immutability can actually work against you sometimes.

I've been thinking about this for a long, long time.

If you DM one of your domains I can get it looked at and make sure you're on the right service level

Sorry - late to the thread here.

On the DNS queries - in over 95% of the cases domains are well under the limits and if you unexpectedly go over, it is usually transient and there are ways to mitigate it.

failover FTW. It's basically "reverse dynamic DNS". we run a bunch of monitors that take heartbeats of your main IP and do a DNS update locally if there's a problem.

The more I think about it the less I think your idea will work anyway - you need to just send the IP that is functioning - if its down, failover to the next IP - but never send the second one unless the first is down.

Why don't you just use hostname failover?

by "yes it is" I meant: weird. Looking into whether it's possible.

(maybe if you explain what you're trying to do it would be helpful)

fediverse.info has been listed by "Bambenek MDML Phishing" (whom I've never heard of).

Report false positive via

I will flip an email over to our contacts there could maybe expedite it (our Domainsure threat-feeds go into Quad9 as well)

Yes, that seemed odd - but it look like it's been blacklisted by one of the third party services feeding into it πŸ‘‡
