Steemit: Failed to access node003(167.114.34.68) today, Hope be fixed ASAP.

Today, I just tried to visit steemit.com site as usual, but I found that I can't access it normally.

I got following response when I visited https://steemit.com in browser:
steemit_error0fdef.png
Oh, there seems something wrong about steemit.com:(

I tried again after a nap, and got:
steemit_error278cb2.png

I discussed it with my friends at QQ group.
Some of them said that steemit.com works normally, but others can't work with it.

So I try to finger out what happen?


  • First I ping the domain of steemit.com at the command prompt:
    steem_ping_windowsa6d06.png
    As you can see, the ping worked fine, and the IP address is 167.114.34.68

  • When I tried to use the IP address directly at browser, I got the same error as I access it with the domain.

    But why some of my friends can worked with the site?

  • I try to finger it out use EzDig tool:

steemit.com 1800    IN  A   167.114.34.68
steemit.com 1800    IN  A   167.114.34.59
steemit.com 1800    IN  A   167.114.34.89
steemit.com 1800    IN  A   167.114.34.81

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
steemit.com 3600    IN  NS  ns38.domaincontrol.com
steemit.com 3600    IN  NS  ns37.domaincontrol.com

As you can see there are FOUR addresses for A record.



Then I tested those IPs with a server which located at softlayer DC.
