Youtube.com is down right now because Pakistan Telecom has decided to (accidentally probably) hijack their IP address space which means that nobody in the world can reach Youtube. This isn’t an OpenDNS issue. Just letting you all know. :-)This is now fixed. PCCW took far far too long to fix their broken customer (Pakistan Telecom) … Argh.

Intorno alle 20.15 avevo in effetti riscontrato un problema di irraggiungibilità di YouTube, e la colpa era ricaduta immediatamente su OpenDNS, per poi essere smentita visto che nemmeno dal portatile riuscivo a risolvere il pool di hostname dalla famosa community.
Ora la spiegazione...
Qualche testa in Pakistan oggi salterà sicuramente ma oltre questo, si mette in evidenza l'eccessiva fragilità del sistema di Name Resolution alla base di DNS, che sia il caso ripensare questo protocollo?
Update1:
Pakistan's attempts to block access to YouTube has been blamed for an almost global blackout of the video website for more than an hour on Sunday.BBC News has learned that the outage was almost certainly connected to Pakistan Telecom and Asian internet service provider PCCW.
A leading net professional said the global outage was "probably a mistake".
Pakistan ordered internet service providers to block the site because of content deemed offensive to Islam.

E la BBC la fa sempre fuori dal vasetto!!!
Update2:
The telecom company that carries most of Pakistan’s traffic, PCCW, has found it necessary to shut Pakistan off from the Internet while they filter out the malicious routes that a Pakistani ISP, PieNet, announced earlier today. Evidently PieNet took this step to enforce a decree from the Pakistani government that ISP’s must block access to YouTube because it was a source of blasphemous content.
