A temporary missing hostname remains unavailable after its record is created.
Estimated field mix
A mistaken alias points back to the original hostname and exhausts lookup work.
Estimated field mix
Lowering TTL at the same moment as the address change does not shorten existing cached lifetimes.
Estimated field mix
DNS propagation sends different clients to different service versions.
Estimated field mix
Operators see one generic network error for lookup failures and refused connections.
Estimated field mix
Reverting the DNS record does not immediately send every client back to the old endpoint.
Estimated field mix
Only the IPv4 record is updated while dual-stack clients continue using the old IPv6 endpoint.
Estimated field mix
The handoff omits when TTL was lowered and when old endpoints can be removed.
Estimated field mix
The application trusts forwarding headers from any caller.
Estimated field mix
A client-provided forwarded host changes generated callback URLs.
Estimated field mix
Connection-specific headers are forwarded as if they were end-to-end metadata.
Estimated field mix
The proxy reuses sockets just after the upstream has closed them.
