We have gotten notification from the NOC of our networking provider that they have chosen not to renew the domains ‘birb.rest’ and ‘avali.rest’ due to cost reasons. These domains were only used for personal splash pages and a handful of user subdomains that have not seen lookups in some time. This should not affect our operations in any meaningful way.
We have also heard that FurrIX is dealing with a DNS amplification attack and will be temporarily dropping any IP address that cross over 40 request per second until the incoming traffic targeting a few specific domains has let up.
