Comments on: Serious DNS Issues With Linode http://www.devside.net/blog/linode-dns Linux, Windows, MacOS? Who cares. Just give me something that works!

I'm a satisfied Linode customer and was thinking about trying our their new DNS service because its free. But I think I'll stick with using zoneedit.com. While I'm extremely grateful for the free increase in RAM and HD, I noticed that on at least 2 occassions, my "mostly idle" linode stopped responding long enough to drop my SSH connection. When I tried my home page, it timed out. After about a minute or two, my home page came up again and I was able to reconnect SSH. When I checked uptime, it was up for months so I know the server didn't reboot. This makes me nervous, but the service has otherwise been fantastic compared to all the other hosts I've tried.
