It looks like the main elixir website is down right now - not sure who maintains it but I wanted to point it out in case the people/person who needs to troubleshoot it will hear about it more quickly.

It seems it is back again 
think the registrar (and current NS provider) was doing some kind of failed migration - that they are rolling back https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/archives/49013
https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/elixir-lang.org
(NS is currently dns1.registrar-servers.com dns2.registrar-servers.com)
which is a bit weird because the NS used to be cloudflare(https://websiteopedia.com/elixir-lang.org) - so maybe the registrar did a big ****up - or simple human error on the elixir team…

That’s interesting! I think you’re right, if you look at the A records on the same site (https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/elixir-lang.org) the locations that are failing are the ones pointing to the dns1.registrar-servers.com ones.
So it looks like it’s down for some places but not others!
The full DNS record for the site is:
elixir-lang.org. 3600 IN SOA dns1.registrar-servers.com. hostmaster.registrar-servers.com. (
2019121617 ; serial
43200 ; refresh (12 hours)
3600 ; retry (1 hour)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
3601 ; minimum (1 hour 1 second)
)
elixir-lang.org. 1799 IN NS dns1.registrar-servers.com.
elixir-lang.org. 1799 IN NS dns2.registrar-servers.com.
elixir-lang.org. 299 IN A 185.199.108.153
elixir-lang.org. 299 IN A 185.199.109.153
elixir-lang.org. 299 IN A 185.199.110.153
elixir-lang.org. 299 IN A 185.199.111.153
And using each nameserver explicitly:
➜ digall elixir-lang.org @dns1.registrar-servers.com
elixir-lang.org. 3601 IN SOA dns1.registrar-servers.com. hostmaster.registrar-servers.com. (
2019121617 ; serial
43200 ; refresh (12 hours)
3600 ; retry (1 hour)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
3601 ; minimum (1 hour 1 second)
)
elixir-lang.org. 1800 IN NS dns1.registrar-servers.com.
elixir-lang.org. 1800 IN NS dns2.registrar-servers.com.
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.111.153
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.110.153
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.108.153
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.109.153
➜ digall elixir-lang.org @dns2.registrar-servers.com
elixir-lang.org. 3601 IN SOA dns1.registrar-servers.com. hostmaster.registrar-servers.com. (
2019121617 ; serial
43200 ; refresh (12 hours)
3600 ; retry (1 hour)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
3601 ; minimum (1 hour 1 second)
)
elixir-lang.org. 1800 IN NS dns1.registrar-servers.com.
elixir-lang.org. 1800 IN NS dns2.registrar-servers.com.
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.108.153
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.109.153
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.110.153
elixir-lang.org. 300 IN A 185.199.111.153
It looks identical between them?
And testing each IP shows a good connection, though they are all fastly and I know there are occasional pathing issues with CDN’s like that, so maybe it’s a pathing issue from certain places only? I could check if someone gives me a restricted SSH shell (container or so is fine) to see from a non-working location?
Or maybe just some DNS cache’s are taking forever if it was updated recently. ^.^;
Good call, thanks for digging even deeper!!
I’m seeing the site load now, and whatsmydns.net is showing everything in the green again as well.
If it’s still not loading for someone, it may be worth going a little further but otherwise it looks like the situation may be resolved!
