# Web Performance: Dear American Red Cross, You have a problem

### American Red Cross:

I know you have other things on your plate right now, but you seem to have a DNS problem.

```
***redcross.org. 86400 IN NS arcdns3.redcross.org.***
redcross.org. 86400 IN NS arcdns2.redcross.org.
redcross.org. 86400 IN NS arcdns1.redcross.org.
;; Received 172 bytes from 204.74.112.1#53(TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET) in 46 ms

redcross.org. 3600 IN A 162.6.217.197
redcross.org. 3600 IN NS arcdns2.redcross.org.
redcross.org. 3600 IN NS arcdns1.redcross.org.
;; Received 122 bytes from 162.6.217.142#53(arcdns2.redcross.org) in 33 ms
```

The name server arcdns3.redcross.org (162.6.90.141) either doesn't exist, or is broken. Unfortunately, the Top-Level DNS servers still have it on file.

The site is working great [[here](http://www.webperformance.org/grabperf/raw_data_site_test.php?test=57&hours=24)]. Except for the DNS issues.
Keep up the good work.
