Shutdown of obsolete authoritative DNS servers.

Posted: Wednesday, August 16th, 2023 at 12:44 by Steve Lalonde

We no longer need the authoritative DNS servers in the following list, they will be shutdown on Monday 25th September 2023 at 09:00 BST

IPv4:

  • 195.74.96.20
  • 195.74.96.34
  • 195.74.96.35
  • 195.74.96.173

IPv6:

  • 2001:4d48:face:a::b
  • 2001:4d48:face:b::b
  • 2001:4d48:face:c::b
  • 2001:4d48:face:2::b

We have noticed a very small number of customers are using these servers as caching resolvers, we ask customers who have changed their DNS from the defaults provided during authentication to check their settings and remove any references to the above IP addresses before the shutdown date.

Our usual DNS caching resolvers are unaffected by the shutdown and are listed here for reference.

IPv4:

  • 195.74.102.146
  • 195.74.102.147
  • 195.74.113.58
  • 195.74.113.62

IPv6:

  • 2001:4d48:face:1::b
  • 2001:4d48:face:4::b
  • 2001:4d48:face:7::b
  • 2001:4d48:face:9::b
