Hi, Quick, very technical background....
* openstreetmap.org has 3 NS servers [abc].ns.bytemark.co.uk * tile.openstreetmap.org CNAMES tile.geo.openstreetmap.org (bytemark) * geo.openstreetmap.org has 4 NS servers [abcd].ns.openstreetmap.org * tile.geo.openstreetmap.org is served by a PowerDNS Geo backend, which based on source query IP replies with country code cname eg: gb.tile.openstreetmap.org. ([abcd].ns.openstreetmap.org) * gb.tile.openstreetmap.org replies with CNAME to closest Tile Cache Server eg: amsterdam.tile.openstreetmap.org (bytemark) * amsterdam.tile.openstreetmap.org replies with IP (bytemark) The mistake... A mistake in a deployment script of ours (fixed here: http://git.openstreetmap.org/dns.git/commitdiff/42f905a1a337d4d0ccf0acb5ee0af8acc63df059) incorrectly set the NS servers for geo.openstreetmap.org to [abcd].ns.openstreetmap (note no suffix TLD) with a very long TTL (~54 hours) causing the breakage. Tile traffic is down a few % points and is improving. Yes, there are some hacks we could use to get around the problem (tile2.openstreetmap.org or geo2.openstreetmap.org), but we decided to just wait a little (easier/safer/less-ugly-hack). There are many great alternative maps: * http://tile.openstreetmap.fr/ * http://openstreetmap.de/karte.html * Other layers on openstreetmap.org Regards Grant Part of OSM sysadmin team.
