    We use Dnsmadeeasy as a secondary for some of our most important domains. Our own name servers are still the primary name servers.

    Now we saw a massive raise in query counts at dnsmadeeasy between March 13 and March 14 (more than double from one day to the other). It stayed at that higher level since then.

    We cannot see any change in query counts at our own name servers for the same domains.

    So I suspect that dnsmadeeasy made a change in their query logic that resulted in doubling their counts.

    Can anyone of you also using dnsmadeeasy please check if you also had a massive raise in query counts between March 13 and 14? This would confirm my suspicion.

    Thanks!

    I don't feel undercharged. :D

    I also think that their 5/10 million queries limits /month are very tight. And the overcharge of $6 per million queries is expensive.
