zdash.suprnova.cc DNS seed problems
147.135.220.159 goes to btcz.suprnova.cc
The above happens because zdash.suprnova.cc is listed as a DNS seed of Hush, and something changed about 2 weeks ago which made it
start returns BitcoinZ nodes instead of Hush nodes.
I see a BTCZ DNS seeder magic string in my debug.log (everybody does) which should never happen:
2018-02-12 18:33:41 receive version message: /bitcoinzseeder:0.01/: version 770002, blocks=0, us=52.43.68.44:8888, peer=5915
2018-02-12 18:34:29 receive version message: /bitcoinzseeder:0.01/: version 770002, blocks=0, us=52.43.68.44:8888, peer=5916

which then causes every BTCZ node to be banned:

This is a massive waste of bandwidth for all involved, including your pool.
It's impossible to run a DNS Seed for 2 coins on 1 IP, and it seems that your IP became a BTCZ dns seed a few weeks ago.
This has caused most people who want to sync a fresh Hush node to be unable to sync, since our other 2 DNS seeds are down currently.

Hey guys, just found that the ZCL dev team issued this response to Cryptopia regarding a similar problem: https://twitter.com/ZclassicCoin/status/962468944287281152.

Hope this helps!

BitcoinZ is also seeing this in its debug logs:
