I’m sure some of you have noticed problems trying to get to my website over the last few days. You probably thought the website was down, but oddly enough it’s been running just fine.

It seems there’s a huge DDOS Attack against the Joker Nameservers happening, and since Joker is my domain registrar that means my hostname ( yeraze.com ) won’t resolve to the proper IP. I assume this is a result of the newly discovered recursive DNS exploit, but I can’t be sure. Whatever it is, there’s not much I can do about it except wait for Joker to work arond it, or switch to another registrar. I’ve already paid for Joker, so I don’t want to switch. We’ll just have to wait and see.

If you’re desperate to keep my hostname resolving, irrespective of the DNS issues, then you can manually enter 216.76.4.76 in your hosts file to resolve to yeraze.com or www.yeraze.com . On Windows, you can follow these instructions from Microsoft.
