If I am reading this correctly – and I might not, it's been a long day – the issue is not directly with DE itself, but with nic.de.
Which doesn't necessarily make it much better.

@rysiek its causing a cascading failure onto de.net as well since de.net uses nic.de for nameservers.

@packetcat ooof.
There is going to be a lot of stuff to learn from the post-mortem.

@rysiek Also looks like dnsviz.net has been hugged to death by everyone hitting it.

Because it is DNS, everything is cached on multiple levels. Because there are nameservers in different TLDs (which is the correct thing to do!), combined with cache invalidation fun, this will keep looking like intermittent failures for a while most probably.

@rysiek@mstdn.social i mean, they do have de.net, so it's not an irrepairable level of a fuckup
don't look at

@rysiek while I'm taking this as a cue to just go to bed and leave computering for tomorrow... RIP to all the shoddily written automations and batch jobs that will fail tonight 🫡
May their knock-on effects be mild tomorrow -

@rysiek Why are the nic.de servers' addresses not glued to the root zone? I thought that was standard practice even if you have nameservers in other zones, too
