Can we add a line to our /etc/hosts file with a hard-coded DNS entry to fix it in the meantime? What's the IP address?

Seems to be fine from the UK, so those of you with suitable VPNs might like to try that.

Can you CC on HN, twitter doesn't work for people as well. HN seems to be fine.

This is going to be a fun day. This little DNS outage is likely to cause millions of lost revenue for many industries.

I looked up an ip for twitter (via a google search) and still timeout on pings.

[edit: twitter and github are both accessible again.]

We switched from Dyn to Route53 a few weeks ago … lucky.
