Hi,
Thank you for your report. Indeed, we are currently experiencing some replication problems. One aspect of our replication works by using an interface of the namseserver software (PowerDNS) to get the list of domains and their current state, both on each location and on the primary instance. We then compute a diff and initiate synchronization for those domains that are part of the diff.
For some reason, the PowerDNS interface used to collect the list of domains (and state) sometimes freezes, leading to a timeout in the replication system. We haven’t been able to identify the root cause yet. The problem indeed primarily affects out ns1 instance in Frankfurt.
It’s a bit confusing, because other locations which run the same software and version are not affected.
In any case, we made some adjustments, which we hope will improve things. We expect to fully address the problem over the next few days.
Thank you for understanding!
Stay secure,
Peter
