Don't think so - mainly referring to the general slowness of the site a few days ago. It should all be resolved now.

 

I have taken my other site off cloudflare to see what difference it will make before I make a decision about WRT. hopefully it will be better from now on.

I couldn't access the site today because the host didn't resolve… I'm using Google's dns and checking the domain gives a SERVFAIL error:

# dig www.watchrepairtalk.com @8.8.8.8              ; <<>> DiG 9.8.5-P1 <<>> www.watchrepairtalk.com @8.8.8.8;; global options: +cmd;; Got answer:;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 15544;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0;; QUESTION SECTION:;www.watchrepairtalk.com.	IN	A;; Query time: 55 msec;; SERVER: 8.8.8.8#53(8.8.8.8);; WHEN: Mon Mar 09 12:37:31 CET 2015;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 41

One possible reason for this error is that the DNSSEC configuration is broken.

Access was very choppy with googles DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

In fact it was for several domains I visited.

 

Changing back to the BT DNS servers and all is fine.

 

I did a check http://www.intodns.com/watchrepairtalk.comand all seems fine with the DNS records (the two errors stated are beyond my control and do not cause errors for DNS queries for A and MX records).

 

 

Checking further I find that it is a problem for some domain owners who use the Google DNS service: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/public-dns-discuss/7Dd4pzBfpZA

 

As it is - I find nothing to fix but will keep monitoring just in case.

 

Thanks for reporting Rob.

Well done for finding that Rob.

I did look on the service status page at eNom but didn't see any issues, the article explains a lot.

 

If it happens again, I will look into deploying my own secondary DNS. It's a shame - I was using eNom's DNS service specifically to reduce admin overhead. Mind you - i've been with them for many years and the provided DNS service is usually quite stable.

    • Getting back to the issue which is us guys repairing or just enjoying horological exploits. The big worry now is how sound is Cousins as company going forward. The of cost if this 8 year legal battle will be astronomical. Cut backs will happen noticed already how the Cousins catalogue is half its size this year. The main supplier going out of business will hit the UK horological community in a big way.    On the Brexit issue it was about a sovereign country being able to make its own laws and trade with any country in the world. I cannot see what was wrong with this. For those who wish to re join the cost would be very high indeed.
    • Yes, it's the same (old) song and it's getting worse & worse;  
    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
