We are currently encountering an issue with authoritative nameservers on one of our internal domains, the cause of which has been traced to a faulty domain transfer. This has caused a DNS resolution outage in certain parts of Altmetric infrastructure which is impacting access and performance across a number of our services. Action is ongoing to remedy the problem and updates will be posted as they become available.
