That's part of what bothers me about this whole story--it says they were running BIND, which configs on text files for goodness sake. These critical records were tiny and could fit anywhere & transfer in the blink of an eye. That such a simple thing is buried under & dependent upon an entire complex and untested/maintained DR plan is mind-boggling. |

I find this to pretty common in many setups where the engineers don't focus on simplicity and removing layers of abstraction. If the workforce is young and inexperienced, over-engineering tends to happen everywhere and you end with situations like this.
I have seen worse in my years in the industry, that's for sure.
