[Incident Report #033][DNS] Suspended lookups for ‘look.com’

What Happened?
NS2 has been seeing a low-volume, but constant stream of lookups for
‘look.com’ for the past few days. These lookups are for ANY and are spread
across a handful of IPv4 addresses. Seeing as most lookups only make a
handful of request before the requesting machine has the info it needs,
we are dropping these lookups for a little while because our NOC is treating
it as internet background radiation.

We were seeing the following issues:

  • Steady, low rate, constant lookups for ANY against ‘look.com’

What did we do to fix this?

  • Temporarily dropping lookup request for ‘look.com’
