We are observing an abnormal rate of errors on zonecheck with AFNIC domains (.fr .re .pm .wf .tf .yt).
Some zonechecks that should pass doesn't, this seems to be due to a connectivity problem at AFNIC.
We will increase the number of automatic tests performed by robots of DNS update on concerned domains.
Update(s):
Date: 2012-04-18 11:19:43 UTC No problem is detected, back to normal.
Date: 2012-04-18 02:58:14 UTC The last operations are going now,currently the zonechecks are taking place properly.
Date: 2012-04-18 02:54:54 UTC AFNIC has just announced that the problem is solved, we force all operations in error to restart now.
Date: 2012-04-18 01:23:28 UTC The first symptoms were noticed today at 17:43.
The problem regards only AFNIC's IPv6 connectivity: their network provider loses IPv6 packets, and therefore scripts AFNIC think that our DNS is not properly accessible in IPv6, though they are.
This problem happened in the past, our robots have been already modified to recognize the symptoms:
So they are retrying automatically and tirelessly to make your DNS modifications pass until AFNIC accepts them.
