Despite promising initial observations, it appears that the mitigation did not fix the issue with DNS resolution from Linodes in Newark. We are actively continuing to explore this issue and pursuing other potential fixes.

This issue is only affecting DNS resolution from our Newark data center -- our public nameservers and DNS Manager are unaffected. Customers in Newark are encouraged to use a public resolver on their Linodes in the meantime.
