e.ip6-servers.arpa DNS outage

Start Time	Friday, 8 February 2019 13:00 (UTC+10)
End Time	Tuesday, 12 February 2019 07:20 (UTC+10)
Duration	3 days, 18 hours, 20 minutes
Services affected	DNS queries against e.ip6-servers.arpa, one of the NS servers in the ip6.arpa and ip6-servers.arpa zones.
Description	ICANN manage the ip6-servers.arpa zone, and a backup restoration for the ip6-servers.arpa zone was done by ICANN on the 8th of February which contained an old address for the APNIC managed e.ip6-servers.arpa NS nameserver. This old address did not serve the ip6.arpa or ip6-servers.arpa zones so queries to e.ip6-servers.arpa for those zones failed. To remediate APNIC loaded the affected zones to the nameserver at the old address to restore service and notified ICANN. ICANN then updated their zone with the correct IP addresses for the e-servers.ip6.arpa NS.

We apologize for the loss of facilities and any inconvenience caused. Should you require assistance in dealing with any problems arising from this outage, please contact the APNIC Helpdesk.
