• MX Update for Microsoft Services

  Wed, Feb 26, 2014 maintenance

  If you are still using mail.global.frontbridge.com as your MX record in conjunction with any of the Microsoft hosted e-mail services such as FOPE (Forefront Online Protection for Exchange) it may be time to update to mail.messaging.microsoft.com

  Recently we learned that one of the IP addresses backing the mail.global.frontbridge.com DNS record has stopped responding to network requests. Upon further investigation turns out this legacy DNS record is being deprecated and Microsoft asks everyone to use the newer mail.messaging.microsoft.com record.

• Monitoring additional DNS Record Types

  Tue, Sep 24, 2013 changelog

  A, CNAME, and PTR

  The first generation of our DNS monitor did simple A record queries. Good enough to get the basic records necessary for life on the Internet, and quickly we had many requests to expand the types of records available. Based on these requests we have added CNAME and PTR records to the DNS monitoring roster.

  We have also added a new option for DNS monitoring.
