I'm bringing this issue up again. The current Bitcoin DNS seed
infrastructure is unstable. I assume this is because of we're using a
custom DNS implementation which is not 100% compatible. There have been
bugs in the past, like a case sensitive match for the domain name.
Current state (seeds taken from bitcoinj):
mainnet:
seed.bitcoin.sipa.be OK
dnsseed.bluematt.me OK
dnsseed.bitcoin.dashjr.org SERVFAIL, tried multiple ISPs
seed.bitcoinstats.com OK
testnet:
testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org SERVFAIL, just from Telefonica
testnet-seed.bluematt.me OK (but only returns one node)
Note: Telefonica is one of Europe's largest ISPs.
I would try to improve DNS myself, but I'm not capable of writing C. My
"fix" would be to reimplement everything in Java -- I doubt you guys
would be happy with that.

I am sure the failure here is probably more mundane like a a service not
restarted, or not on auto restart when server is rebooted and such like.
The dns seeder works pretty efficiently in my experience. Maybe we need
more seeders and to include the ability for zone transfers so existing
seeders can spread their records to multiple servers running standard DNS
servers like bind etc.

While I agree that the problem seeds should be fixed, it also sounds
like a problem with bitcoinj / other layers, if a malfunctioning seed
is a problem for your app.
Seeds are fundamentally a backup for peer exchange. You are going to
run into problems if you rely 100% on seeds, always.
Further, there are multiple seeds so that we are not impacted if a
couple seeds malfunction or die. All bitcoin apps must take this into
account.

If software is using the DNS seeds in a way where one or two being
unavailable is problematic, then the software may be using them
poorly.
Generally DNS seeds should only be used as fast connectivity hints,
primarily for initial connectivity. Relying on them exclusively
increases isolation vulnerabilities (e.g. because the dns seed
operators or any ISP or network attacker on the path between you and
the seeds can replace the results with ones that isolate you on a
bogus network).

FWIW, this may be a routing issue: I notice various ISPs have been unable to
route to my server over IPv4 today. IPv6 seems to be fine.
Not sure how important DNS seed reliability is anyway; it's just
bootstrapping, and there are multiple servers listed.

I just used "nslookup", after seeing the issues in bitcoinj.
I agree that clients should be robust regarding DNS lookups (and
bitcoinj isn't), but still I think the first step needs to be
maintaining a quality infrastructure.

My android wallet is working OK. Yes it isn't great when seeds have
temporary availability problems but things are still working.
There's a couple of pull reqs outstanding to include hard coded seed peers
and getaddr sourced IPs. Once those are finished and merged in there'll be
more backup paths.

Apparently British Telecom also cannot speak to Peter Todd's server.
That another very large ISP in Europe.

Is Peter Todd's server actually up? The Google public DNS resolver at 8.8.8.8 can't resolve testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org either (SERVFAIL).

It looks like it might be firewalled, probably just need to fix the ACL in EC2.

Hi guys
Just wanted to let you know that Andreas' testnet Bitcoin Wallet doesn't
work because of fail in the peer discovery, and this caused us problems as
we cannot properly demonstrate my XBTerminal POS on the Bitcoin Conference.
Right now I'm booting up an own full node that I will set as trusted peer
in the Wallet settings, hopefully this will work. However this DNS
discovery problem is really a problem, even for testnet. Btw, I had
problems firing up the full bitcoind node also, of the same reason -
discovery failed. I had to ask Andreas to paste me his node list to
manually seed the nodelist.
So I've set up and will run a well connected testnet node, as we need it
for the XBTerminal.
Please let me know if I can somehow help to fix the DNS discovery issue
also.
Best regards,
Alex Kotenko

but jun.dashjr.org isn't responding to dns queries (as at 18.10 GMT
2014-05-16)
that would be a fundamental problem with the dns infrastructure for that
domain (and the sub-hosts/records) , with the authoritive server not
replying to the dns query

Similarly no response from the alias'd aws dns service on 23.21.243.183
(testnet-seed-ns1.bitcoin.petertodd.org) from various test locations in
Europe
If there's a requirement for a domain & highly redundant dns to hard-code
into something, and one of the dev's drops me an email, I can get that
organised FoC, but these issues look like 'common'
firewall/transit/connectivity issues at first glance.

Luke's server has been having issues with ipv4 routing lately anyway, even ignoring any DNS issues.

This is very strange...when did you run this test and can anyone else
reproduce this?

For example just now:
$ nslookup testnet-seed.bluematt.me
Server: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
testnet-seed.bluematt.me canonical name = bitcoin-seednode.bluematt.me.
bitcoin-seednode.bluematt.me canonical name = desktopv2.bluematt.me.
Name: desktopv2.bluematt.me
Address: 152.23.202.18
And that address doesn't connect on port 18333.

jun.dashjr.org has resolved 130 requests in the past ~12 hours, and I can see
it resolving more in tcpdump. I do observe two potential problems, however:
- For the past 24-48 hours, there seem to be some significant routing problems
on the IPv4 internet, resulting in people using various diverse ISPs
(including myself at home) being unable to route to any of my servers. This
issue doesn't affect IPv6, however.
- The DNS seeder seems to only be responding to requests received over IPv4.
This means IPv6 DNS servers get no response. :(

There are only two testnet seeds listed in bitcoind, and one of them
returns SERVFAIL (testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org) and the other
just returns one A record (testnet-seed.bluematt.me). No idea what
seeds bitcoinj uses.
If you are going to depend on testnet, especially for an important
demo... contribute to the infrastructure! This stuff doesn't just fix
itself for free.

Ok, what do I need to do? How do I host a testnet seed myself?

I think the best way to contribute to the infrastructure is actually
what we're doing: Test the current infrastructure and point out where it
is not working. Trying to find solutions for problems.
There is nothing gained by throwing additional hardware at a problem if
the problem itself isn't understood well.

Agree.
So, my understanding is that atm we have no working DNS seeds at the
testnet3, right? There are two DNS seeds known, of which one is unreachable
atm, and another one is giving just one IP address, which is also a dead
node.
If I'll start a DNS seed of my own and make sure it works well, will this
help?
I've found this DNS seeder daemon <https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder>,
and it seems to be exactly what I need to run a DNS seeder myself.
So if my understanding is correct, I'll setup a DNS seeds for mainnet and
for testnet at bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me and testnet-seed.alexykot.me, and
also a well connected nodes for mainnet and testnet on the same server.
Is this a good plan? Will this all help?

Sound great! Let me know if you've got something to test.

Hmm, I've mostly setup what's promised, testing DNS seeds now. There is one
problem I see that I can't really solve myself.
This dnsseed daemon cannot serve more than one name at once, which means
that I cannot serve testnet and mainnet seeds off one daemon instance which
means I need to buy two IP addresses for it. That's unfortunate as it needs
much more spendings from me to operate, second IP address will cost nearly
as much as the server itself.
Can anybody help with this? I cannot into C++ to fix that myself.
Best regards,

I’m not familiar with how the daemon works, however could you set up two daemons listening local on different ports and with a separate daemon or normal dns server that proxies incoming queries to either domain? I don’t know if standard DNS servers would support that, or if you would need a custom proxy application.

It should be possible to configure bind as a DNS forwarder.. this can
be done in a zone context.. then you can forward the different zones to
different dnsseed daemons running on different non-public IPs or two
different ports on the same IP (or on one single non-public IP since
there's really no reason to expose the dnsseed directly daemon at all).

Well, it's possible theoretically, but will need another piece of custom
software that will understand DNS protocol and proxy it correctly based on
actual incoming DNS queries.

Quite the opposite. dnsseed data rotates through a lot of addresses
if available. Using the bind/zone-xfer system would result in fewer
total addresses going through to the clients, thanks to the addition
of caching levels that the bind/zone-xfer system brings.
That said, if the choice is between no-service and bind, bind it is ;p

Setting it up as a zone forwarder causes each request to go through to
the dnsseed backend for each request.

You would set it up as a forwarder, not as a zone transfer to bind. That should proxy the request every time and only cache based on any TTL that’s set in the response.
Here’s an example of how it could work:

This stackoverflow describes a similar situation;
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15338232/how-to-forward-a-subzone
you can additionally specify the port to forward too;
http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/queries.html#forwarders
it should be possible to forward to different ports on 127.0.0.1 for
each dnsseed instance.

okay, I've set it up with bind forwarding requests to two dnsseeds running
on separate ports. Though I see a problem with testnet DNS seed itself. It
runs, but somehow it only returns one IP address. Exactly same DNS seeder
looking for mainnet nodes is working fine.
You can reach seeds through
mainnet seed:
dig @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me A
or directly
dig -p 8353 @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me A
testnet seed
dig @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me A
or directly
dig -p 18353 @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me A
So what can be the problem with testnet DNS seeder?
Best regards,
Alex Kotenko

Great, thanks for this contribution!
Do you plan to have your seeds reachable on port 53 eventually?
Currently bitcoinj cannot deal with nonstandard ports I think.

Misunderstanding. Both seeds are available on port 53 via BIND forwarding.
Just also each DNS seed is available separately on it's own port.

Hmmm, not for me:
$ nslookup bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me
Server: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53
** server can't find bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me: SERVFAIL
$ nslookup testnet-seed.alexykot.me
Server: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53
** server can't find testnet-seed.alexykot.me: SERVFAIL
Can you look up in the logfile what requests I just made?

Hi all
It took some time, but now my testnet seed is fully operational. In fact
I've dropped an earlier idea of DNS forwarding and now serving only testnet
seed, as it is more important atm than a mainnet one.
Testnet seed is available at testnet-seed.alexykot.me.
Please check and let me know if all looks fine with this seed from your
side.
Best regards,
Alex Kotenko

Thanks Alex, you're my hero of the day (-:
Your seed works well for me. Here is a PR for bitcoinj:
