Mag Dailies DNS failing - Now Fixed

AR2012

The sub domain (comps.magazine.com) for the competition sites on the magazines managed by DMRI is no longer responding to DNS.

I'm also not seeing the Win Tab being available on the main site or if it is in more+ it will fail.

Some sites (lifedeathprizes.com and celebsnow.co.uk) are redirecting to https://www.magazinesdirect.com/. 

No announcements on Futures blog (https://www.futureplc.com/news/) about changes or emails from the sites announcing shuttering of the competitions section.

Worth others testing to confirm. I have changed my DNS servers to cloud flares 1.1.1.1 (https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/) from my Broadbands providers DNS servers and flushed my resolver cache. Still no luck.

Even DMRIs own website (https://www.dmri.co.uk/) fails lookups as they're the host for the competitions sites. I suspect they are the root of the issues. Their Public DNS records are unavailable. 

Further tests: The DNS records (https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a:comps.lifedeathprizes.com&run=toolpage) show the CNAME record being held by DMRI in amazon web services DNS (https://status.aws.amazon.com/) which amazon is reporting as healthy.

Here's hoping the DNS issue is resolved promptly.
