Hm, this website is down... But wait, it has a bunch of servers!
Yesterday mutt hanged when opening PGP-signed emails because the default keyserver was partially down. Partially? GPG was taking always the same [down] server although there is a pool of a dozen of servers for the given address.
I used the following oneliner to test if the webserver of each address of the domain (which using DNS Round-Robin) is up or not:
#!/bin/sh
( route -6 | grep "^::/0" | awk '{print $NF}' | grep -v 'lo' ) 2>&1 >/dev/null && HOSTOPTS="" || HOSTOPTS="-t A" ; for i in $( (host $HOSTOPTS $1 || (echo "$1 not found" 1>&2 && exit 1)) | grep -E "has (IPv6 )?address" | awk -F' ' '{print $NF}') ; do CURLOPTS=(); echo "$i" | grep ":" 2>&1 >/dev/null && CURLOPTS+=( -g "http://[$i]" ) || CURLOPTS+=( http://$i ) ; curl -H"Host: $1" -s -m3 ${CURLOPTS[@]} 2>&1 >/dev/null && echo $i is up || echo $i is down ; done
Note: this script will automatically skip IPv6 addresses if no external route is found for it
Example:
$ isup keys.gnupg.net
213.133.103.71 is up
131.155.141.70 is up
