Perhaps your DNS entries were reset as a result of the DDoS attacks that Dyn (your domain registrar and DNS provider) have been suffering today.

Ah. And I know why. We had a power outage yesterday, and it seriously screwed up several things here on computers, even though they are on UPS power devices. I spent several hours last night trying to get DYN Updater FINALLY working again. I should have known it would hose all the settings too, but didn't think of it. I'll go through them all again..........one would think it would keep the settings current based on account login information, but it always wants to screw everything up.

It's unlikely to be anything to do with any problems on your local network, unless somehow that caused an update to the address records of berlinhtsweather.com (which would be rather odd). Once set, those should normally stay set without any further action from you, so it's much more likely to be the problems at Dyn today.

For some reason, DYN changed my A-Record setting BACK from what I had set by your instruction to being what they perceive as my location IP address. I am not familiar with this kind of thing, so can you tell me which of the 3 settings choices they have here is the one I should be selecting? Perhaps this is why they changed it back if I chose the wrong one.

- Host with IP address
- WebHop Redirect (URL forwarding service)
- Offline Hostname

As soon as I changed the A-Record back to 5.9.113.114 and saved the changes, my site sprang to life again. I'd like to prevent this issue if you can suggest how I might do that.

Thanks!

It would appear Dyn had a problem today according to the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37728015

Thanks. That was interesting reading. I wonder if the change DYN made to my settings was some kind of fallback procedure that happened automatically?

Yes, quite likely. I think that's what I've been trying to suggest in my previous posts, where I mentioned the problems at Dyn.

Ive had a similar intermittent issue where neither the hostname nor ip appear to be resolving as they keep pulling back the record of the nameserver.

However I still acceeess the site through another provider.

seems like the NS records are all fouled up somewhere, maybe i should just point them all to google on 8.8.8.8 instead
