Afrihost outage

Anyone else aware of an Afrihost outage?

Can't even reach their clientzone to check network status. Something has gone horribly wrong I feel.

Same, can't even get to their website, they're dead in the water. Almost like Thanos snapped them out of existence.

Agreed - both their DNS servers simply return "ServFail" when queried:

01:50:20.563909 IP 169.0.39.59.33103 > 169.1.1.1.53: 39523+ A? www.afrihost.com. (34)
01:50:20.570809 IP 169.1.1.1.53 > 169.0.39.59.33103: 39523 ServFail 0/0/0 (34)
01:50:20.571103 IP 169.0.39.59.33103 > 169.1.1.2.53: 39523+ A? www.afrihost.com. (34)
01:50:20.576252 IP 169.1.1.2.53 > 169.0.39.59.33103: 39523 ServFail 0/0/0 (34)

When switching to 1.1.1.1 as DNS server, things still seem to work fine, but their website and DNS service is down.

And cloudflare says:

They seem to be back, but international is limited.

And ... they seem to be back. Both DNS servers are working again. Not seeing any issues with International.
