> How are you accomplishing a redirect with just DNS?

Perhaps it's an HTTP-based redirect, and that's why it's down whereas DNS is up?

That would make sense, but then tym0's reply to edvinasbartkus doesn't make any sense. It would be like saying: "It seems that DNS is not affected, only hosting." and the reply being: "Yeah, but it seems that hosting is affected as well"
Web redirects are usually not called web hosting in the dns industry, even if it technically operate just like any website. It is more like an attached service for a customers dns.

It is similar how the web interface for email has technically nothing to do with the email infrastructure and email protocols, but as a service it is packaged together with email.

That's my bad, I understood edvinasbartkus's "portal/admin/webmail" as not including things like webservers & redirects.
