Title: DNSSEC
Post by: Namaste on April 16, 2024, 02:13:29 PM

Yesterday I updated my DNS servers at my registry (name.com).  I expected my website to resolve rather quickly as it did in the past.  But after 48 hours still no joy.  After a lot of research, I learned that the problem was my registry created a new DNSSEC record by default.  Sneaky I agree.

So I quickly deleted the dnssec record at my registry and got my website back.

There are a lot of pros and cons about this new security measure, the biggest of which is a complete shutdown of your website should you create a new record before deleting the old record.  Chaos will surely prevail should you make this mistake.

Any discussion?

Did your registrar not communicate? I use Cloudflare

Problem was that my server was not configured for DNSSEC
