A message comes in: a website is not responding. Or rather, it responds but it crawls.
It is a WordPress with a few plugins, all in good shape.I log in and the load is near zero, traffic is tiny. I start digging and nothing makes sense. I run the command "w" and the machine is frozen.
Nothing in the logs.
Then the light bulb goes on:
"ping bsd.cafe"No resolution.
The provider’s upstream DNS servers (set in a hurry, I normally install a local unbound) are not responding and everything grinds to a halt. I switch the DNS servers and everything magically starts working again.
Of course it was DNS! 🙂

@stefano if the system is so heavily dependent on the DNS resolver ("frozen"), I would dig deeper, as there could be much more to it

@winfried the "w" command will, by default, try to resolve the ip addresses into hostnames - that's why it is slow if the resolver isn't responding properly.
As for Wordpress - many of the plugins they are currently using depend on external calls. -

@stefano "It's always DNS" - or rather, a lack there of ;)

@lproven A few years ago I called Vodafone Italy's support for enquiring about something. Before I could fully explain what I needed, the operator noticed I'm a longtime customer and cut by a bit my fiber monthly fee.
Some time later I called again for an unrelated issue and, again, a different operator noticed I'm a longtime customer and cut the fiber fee a bit more.

This post is dedicated to the nameless Vodafone employee watching over me and my family and blessing us with an abundance of free minutes.
