External delegation of mit.edu Akamai is complete, 18.in-addr.arpa will be completed in the near future. Please contact the helpdesk if you encounter any issues related to this change. At 3pm on May 17. 2013, external delegation of mit.edu and 18.in-addr.arpa will be pointed to Akamai. On-campus DNS requests will be unaffected and will continue to be serviced by internal DNS servers. Off-campus queries will be serviced by Akamai, but data returned will be identical. We anticipate no impact to users, but please contact the helpdesk if you encounter any issues related to this change. Network connectivity in Building 76 was disrupted from approximately 12:00-12:15pm as the result of a denial of service attack. Wednesday, May 8th: 8:00AM: The network outage in building E19 has been resolved. The entry switch lost power and technicians restored power to the device as of approximately 7:50AM. Recursive DNS disabled for off-campus queries. In response to a DoS attack against the MIT nameservers, recursive DNS has been disabled for DNS queries coming from off-campus. This will only affect devices that are off-campus but configured to use MIT's name servers. For more details see http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/EbIBCQ .
