Quality central down

[Vandrovnik 214]

Hello, is there a way how to report to Embarcadero, that https://quality.embarcadero.com/ is down (again)?

Works for me now.

I still get just a timeout 😞

Hmm, on another PC, it works, too. There is nslookup quality.embarcadero.com = 204.61.221.78

On my PC, quality.embarcadero.com resolves to 204.216.225.148, which does not work...

Use Google Public DNS.

Hmm, it seems embarcadero is using TTL 3 days (!) for that record, so if they did change the address recently, it is still in the caching DNS.

 

# dig quality.embarcadero.com @ns1.navidns.net

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.68.rc1.el6_10.3 <<>> quality.embarcadero.com @ns1.navidns.net

There is nothing wrong.

 

Command ptr

ipconfig /flushdns

Usually when one has to change important DNS record, he wants to minimalize problems for users. Here is a description how to do it in a better way than just to change record with TTL 3 days: https://www.dnswatch.info/articles/dns-update
