Myspace DNS Problems, Offline
Check out what I get when I ask where Myspace is:
nslookup myspace.com
Name: myspace.com
Addresses: 216.178.32.49, 216.178.32.50, 216.178.32.51, 127.0.0.1, 216.178.32.48
That’s right–the loopback address, essentially me, resolves to Myspace. They’ve clearly misconfigured their DNS, and are now dropping 1/5 of their global traffic. Smart one, News Corp. It’s not a great idea when you buy a company to make a public, stupid mistake. For more, see the opendns blog.
