I’m not sure but it seems like EdsaMail is really having problems with their DNS servers.

I tried visiting EdsaMail’s (http://www.edsamail.com.ph) web site yesterday and was surprised to see a domain parked page from EveryDNS (http://www.everydns.net). I tried using dig to gather information from their DNS servers and got the following results:

; < <>> DiG 9.2.3 < <>> www.edsamail.com.ph
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER< <- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 334
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 4

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www.edsamail.com.ph. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.edsamail.com.ph. 3363 IN CNAME parked.everydns.net.
parked.everydns.net. 364 IN A 64.158.219.4

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
everydns.net. 86164 IN NS ns2.everydns.net.
everydns.net. 86164 IN NS ns3.everydns.net.
everydns.net. 86164 IN NS ns4.everydns.net.
everydns.net. 86164 IN NS ns1.everydns.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.everydns.net. 56160 IN A 64.158.219.3
ns2.everydns.net. 56160 IN A 216.218.240.206
ns3.everydns.net. 1564 IN A 80.84.249.169
ns4.everydns.net. 1564 IN A 63.219.183.200

This means that EdsaMail had opted to use 3rd Party DNS services from EveryDNS for their DNS servers. EveryDNS by the way, offer free DNS services and they claimed that they provide reliable and secure DNS services. Actually, this is not bad since if EverDNS's claim is true, then EdsaMail would benefit on this especially if they really find it difficult to host their own DNS servers. I myself have tried using ZoneEdit (http://www.zonedit.com), another free DNS server provider and had no problems with them.

I just hope EdsaMail's services would improve now, since I know a lot of people who are not happy with what's happening. In the Internet, DNS server failures would result to emails getting lost and web sites being inaccessible since it's like losing your address in the vast cyber space. I'm sure EdsaMail's IT team is aware of this.
