Good call. I have chrony running, logs show no step at that time. Steady offset under 2ms. Ruled out.

Debian 12, FRR 8.4.4. Emailed DriftNode, waiting. Not migrating yet, their price is fine for the transit mix I need.

BMC access or GTFO. That's the rule. Anything less and you're renting a mystery.

Door open. Perkele.

Test at 2am not for traffic. For shame. Server good. Fire system bad. Price very bad.

BGP session flaps every tuesday 3 am. Two upstreams. Only one flaps. Fiberlink good. Driftnode bad. No alerts received. Logs show hold timer expired. Perkele. Running debian with frr. Not maintenance window on my end. Where to look

Universal lesson: if the price seems wrong for real hardware, it's not real hardware. Physics and accounting don't negotiate.

Marcus_qc. Your clause "reasonable resource use." no number. Perkele. Had box with you. Suspended for 40% cpu one hour. Ticket said "reasonable." what reasonable. No answer. Moved to fiberhost. Network okay. Price bad. Server good.

Hetzner Auction or Netcup Root-Server if you want real without colo. Or actually colo with someone like Keyweb or myloc. The rest is gambling.

This is why I still build my own. If I can't trip over the power cable it's not my server. Hetzner's auction machines are at least real boxes you can identify. The cloud stuff? I don't trust it.

Server good. 512MB plenty for DNS.

BIND bad. Memory hog. Price bad for crash risk.

Dnsmasq good. Unbound good. Knot okay. Network okay.

Perkele BIND on 128MB. 2007. Crash every week. Learned hard.

Two server minimum. Three better. No primary alone.
