12 verified briefings on Dns. Each story includes a plain-English summary, why it matters, and the concrete action engineering teams should take.
The Linux Foundation has proposed an open standard for AI agents to discover and communicate with each other. The proposal suggests extending the existing Domain Name System (DNS) to create a universal, decentralized directory, avoiding the need for new proprietary registries and leveraging proven internet infrastructure.
A user on the Netlify Community forum reported an issue where their website's SSL certificate failed to activate, resulting in a "not secure" warning for visitors. This occurred despite confirmation that their DNS records had propagated correctly, a common prerequisite for SSL issuance.
A developer reported being unable to connect their custom subdomain to a Netlify site. The platform indicated the domain was already managed by another team, preventing the new configuration. The user has requested a manual domain lock release from Netlify support after verifying ownership.
A Netlify user reported a "certificate parameter is required" error when trying to provision a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for a custom domain. The issue occurred despite using Netlify DNS with fully propagated records, prompting a request for manual intervention from the support team.
Ubuntu has patched multiple vulnerabilities in Unbound, a popular DNS resolver. The flaws could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or, in some cases, execute arbitrary code. One critical issue affects recent Ubuntu LTS versions, making immediate updates essential for affected systems.
A Netlify user is unable to add a custom subdomain to their site, receiving an error that the domain is already in use. Despite being the administrator and creating a verification TXT record, the user requires manual intervention from Netlify's support team to release the domain.
A developer reported being unable to add a subdomain to a new Netlify project because it was linked to an old one. This common issue requires manual intervention from Netlify support, even after proving ownership via DNS records, highlighting a platform friction point for developers.
A Netlify user is reporting an SSL certificate provisioning failure for a custom domain. The issue persists despite all DNS checks, including Netlify's own verification, showing a correct configuration. The user has requested manual intervention after repeated automated failures, highlighting a potential platform-level issue.
A Netlify user reported being locked out of their domain after deleting their team account. The platform's DNS system retained control of the domain, preventing it from being added to a new project. This issue requires manual intervention from Netlify support to resolve the configuration conflict.
A developer's production site went offline after they deleted their Netlify account without first removing a custom domain. Despite changing nameservers, Netlify's network continued to intercept traffic, serving a 404 error. The issue required manual intervention from Netlify support to purge the DNS zone.
Developers using Netlify are reporting a DNS configuration issue where an 'already exists' error prevents them from setting up domains. The problem stems from orphaned DNS zones on Netlify's provider, NS1, left over from previous incomplete setups, requiring manual intervention from Netlify support to resolve.
A Netlify user reported their custom domain remains locked by the platform even after being removed from their project. This prevents them from connecting the domain to a new hosting provider, indicating a potential backend issue where domains are not being fully released from Netlify's system.
