We’re currently receiving some abnormal traffic patterns at our Seattle location. To avoid any potential interruption of services, we’ve withdrawn our resolver anycast announcement from the site. All users will automatically be re-routed to the closest alternate site.
Additionally, users routed to our Seattle or Los Angeles location may have experienced typo-correction services being temporarily disabled from Thu Aug 26 10:00 UTC to Thu Aug 26: 21:00 UTC. All services have been re-enabled at both locations.
UPDATE: Seattle has been re-enabled and is now serving DNS traffic again.
