My exit node's consensus weight just jumped from 20 to 1750
overnight. When I checked to see how things were going, my log
file is full of nameserver problems, happening every couple of
minutes:<br>
<br>
Jan 31 14:12:40.000 [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed<br>
Jan 31 14:12:40.000 [notice] eventdns: Nameserver 8.8.4.4:53 is
back up<br>
Jan 31 14:18:35.000 [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed<br>
Jan 31 14:18:35.000 [notice] eventdns: Nameserver 8.8.4.4:53 is
back up<br>
Jan 31 14:20:53.000 [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed<br>
Jan 31 14:20:53.000 [notice] eventdns: Nameserver 8.8.4.4:53 is
back up<br>
Jan 31 14:20:59.000 [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed<br>
Jan 31 14:20:59.000 [notice] eventdns: Nameserver 8.8.4.4:53 is
back up<br>
<br>
But the "All nameservers have failed" and "Nameserver xxx is back
up" messages happen in pairs <i>at the exact same time.</i>
What's going on here, and is there a way to fix this? My VPS has 2
nameservers listed for it, should I be using those?<br>
<br>
At any rate, my exit node is still getting enough traffic to hit
the bandwidth limit, so I'm assuming it's still functioning at
some capacity. Here's the Atlas link if anyone wants to check out
the details:
