Akamai Edge DNS was down

Yep, all our EdgeDNS zones as well as DSD edgekeys are just returning SERVFAILS. Many big german websites are down right now.

Several unrelated websites I was trying to visit are down. I figured I would find the answer on HN : )

You can see this on a lot of sites right now. You get the Akamai style error with something like:

  Reference: #11.453a2f17.1393u44848484.3aee33433

At the bottom of a very bland looking error page.

Figured this out almost 30 minutes before they bothered to update their status page.
