In this modern day of pushing for everything to be web

frustrated by my hosting company being down for the last 9.5 hours due to a
DNS resolving issue. The old methods would never have had these problems..
Au contraire, it was probably *human* error!
DNS infrastructure itself is ridiculously robust. Take Amazon's Route
53, for example.
But humans remain fallible and the infrastructure will be perfectly
faithful to what we ask. This is top of mind because I made a very silly
DNS error recently (after switching to Route 53 to get resilience and
consistent name servers) that took my site down to much of the internet
(including Google) for a week. The infrastructure is no help if the data
is wrong!
