This was an old RHEL4 external dns server I ran at $last_job:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.digitalprognosis.com&#x2F;pics&#x2F;bye-bye-uptime.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.digitalprognosis.com&#x2F;pics&#x2F;bye-bye-uptime.png</a><p>I was sad that we had to shut it down, but we had to shut it down due to migrating our primary colo to another city and were going to retire all of the hardware. I&#x27;d been manually backporting bind fixes, building my own version, and had to do some config tweaks when Dan Kaminski released his DNS vulns to the world.<p>It is always a sad day to retire an old server like that, but 18 years... What a winner!<p>Edit:<p>But 1158 days for an old dell 1750 running RHEL4 isn&#x27;t too bad considering it serviced all kinds of external dns requests for the firm. Its secondary didn&#x27;t have the uptime due to constant power issues in the backup datacenter and incompetent people managing the UPS.
