<story><title>DNSimple DDOS Attack</title><url>http://dnsimplestatus.com/incidents/v0x4h75gxf7x</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>whafro</author><text>We&amp;#x27;re kinda tied into DNSimple since we use an ALIAS record for our bare&amp;#x2F;naked&amp;#x2F;root domain. Amazon&amp;#x27;s Route53 supports aliases, but via a 301 redirect, which doesn&amp;#x27;t work in an SSL context (without browser warnings).&lt;p&gt;Nonetheless, we just spun up a Route53 zone, exported our zone from DNSimple, imported to Route53, and hand-migrated our ALIAS records to static A records in the new zone.&lt;p&gt;Not perfect or permanent, but we&amp;#x27;ve gotten around the outage. Also, I just learned that pointhq has (seemingly-undocumented) support for ALIAS records in the same style as DNSimple, so this could be another avenue to explore.</text></comment>
