Salesforce outage

cloudmate

News came in overnight of an outage at Salesforce, which turned out to likely be due to a change to DNS settings causing logins to fail and API integrations to error out, and multiple third-party sites reporting outages or failed services. Downdetector also showed a large spike in error reports, but Salesforce were quick to take to Twitter and provide updates as soon as they realised that there was an issue. Services now appear to be restored with just a few minor wobbles ongoing. Were you affected?

Their DNS Servers were down! Seems like the Nameservers they used were on same DNS Server which went down. Morever, there was no Third and Forth Nameservers. Companies like these should have a DNS for Handling such things...

In a case like this, if the 1st two nameservers fail, will it automatically go to 3rd & 4th?
