Mumbai - Water Logged DNS

[Rubber Duck]

Just received email as follows:

Dear Reseller,

Please be advised that the .IN Registry is currently experiencing certain technical difficulties.

Heavy rains and flooding in Mumbai, India has damaged the .IN Registry's Name Servers. This has hampered DNS propagation, with the result that your Customers' .IN domain names might not resolve to their websites for the time being.

The .IN Registry and its providers are currently working post-haste to rectify the situation, which has affected all Registrars in equal proportion. We are in incessant contact with the Registry, and hope to have normal functioning restored as soon as possible.

We regret the inconvenience this has caused you, and appreciate your patience in this matter. Rest assured, we shall constantly keep you updated with any fresh developments on this issue, via notifications posted on the Support Help Desk.

Please feel free to contact us, with any doubts/queries you might have.


Warm regards,

Direct i Technical Support

It has been crazy there in Mumbai, I have seen it in News and Media, and it looks like it was a real bad flood. I heard 40 inches of rain in a couple minutes

India has suffered terribly with these floods. Thankfully, they have excellent economic growth and opportunity occurring in the country. Mumbai in particular is one place I would like to visit. No doubt, the Indians will get past this.

dcg, you're in Kolkata, all the way across India from Mumbai (Bombay)- so please be a little more sympathetic towards your compatriots.

Hi Radistar,

I am very much with the people of Mumbai, for what they are facing now. But in my previous comment what i wanted to strech out that, the rains & flood damaged the .in nameservers . isn't this unacceptable. Those are registry nameservers and it should be in more safe place. Most cities in India including Kolkata also get waterlogged in rains due to lack of proper drainage system and other civic facilities. Ok, this time what is in mumbai is may be unusual but still the authorities cant escape from the responsibility.

I really feel sad for the people who died. May they rest in peace.
