Hi Tom I think the problem with both the monitoring and server access are your DNS records

http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=mc2.tomasu.org&timestamp=1409977929&view=1

I ran some tests from http://mxtoolbox.com as well your DNS is buggered in some way.

The dnscheck error is spurious, its checking a zone, but mc2.tomasu.org is a record, not a zone.

That said, it made me look harder, and svc.tomasu.net IS a zone (and mc*.tomasu.org are CNAMEs to mc*.svc.tomasu.net), and I checked that, and it's settings weren't exactly correct... So if this doesn't fix it, I have no bloody clue what it is.

Are you saying you changed something in your DNS settings?  Maybe Mr. A will finally be able to get to your servers without editing his hosts file or pointing at the Google DNS servers?

Yes. It looks like the svc.tomasu.net dns config was borked. i'm a little confused as to why it worked as well as it did... So yes. The problems people have been having with the actual domain names should be fixed (when ever dns updates around the world).

Well since most servers cached no record it probably will be fairly quick

So... the issues I've been having are at the server's end not mine. That would explain a lot

Maybe. Maybe not. I'm still getting a bajillion false positives from uptimerobot.
