Based on the Kübler-Ross model, adapted for on-call rotations.
You have personally verified the records. You are sure. The records look fine.
You are reviewing the commit log with the energy of a homicide detective.
ipconfig /flushdns. dig +trace. systemctl restart systemd-resolved. Maybe this time.
You are eating cold pad thai at 2am while staring at a packet capture.
It was always DNS. You are writing the post-mortem. The title is "DNS."
Real stories. Unverified identities. Absolutely DNS.
"I spent six hours on the load balancer config. I rewrote the firewall rules. I escalated to the network team. It was DNS."
"My CTO asked why the site was down. I said 'probably DNS' as a joke. It was DNS. He thinks I'm a genius now."
"I told my wife I'd be home for dinner at 7. It's 11:43pm. It's DNS. It has always been DNS."
Developed in partnership with a team of on-call engineers who have stopped sleeping.

"And in the age of the Cloud, when the packets do flow free,— Nostradamus, 1558 (Quatrain IV, Verse 53)
the Name shall not resolve, and the Ops team shall weep.
Lo, they will check the firewall; lo, they will blame the CDN;
but the fault, as ever, shall lie with the Resolver."
Wear your trauma. 100% cotton. 100% DNS.
