I get similar failure reports from a nslookup for that realmedia.channel4.com domain
I get to the webpage(s) fine, and the flash player seems to load ok. But then pressing the Play button does nothing except change to a Pause button.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7 and Safari (and I've also tried Firefox, and got the same fault) and have everything up to date including Adobe Flash Player.

However, a hosts file is always your friend - providing that another friend gives you the relevant IP on a message board as well of course
I do think PN DNS is being way more than a bit cranky at the mo though in any case. Certainly way more cranky than usual tonight anyway as it took several attempts to get to the portal and here due to repeated DNS lookup failures.
... wanders off to enjoy 4oD thanks to stuffing the relevant IP address kindly provided by mr.simonmcqueen into a hosts file near me

Still; not sure if it's a problem with realmedia, PN DNS not always doing recursive lookups correctly or a propagation stylee issue but either way, I give up !
However, there DEFINITELY are some issues with PN DNS though regardless of the cause of the specific 4oD/realmedia one because I'm seeing more and more random failed lookups when generally browsing

Clearly a PN problem as per usual ... but I've no doubt that it'll be claimed to be someone else's fault and all that if/when someone actually notices the problem(s) and is forced to respond in one way or another

I'm not sure that it's really worth the effort b*ggering around but there's some more info from a working and non-working enquiry below just in case anyone in PN Towers feels the urge to look into the problem:

Lookups using any PN DNS server are still randomly failing whenever I try them but lookups using (Google I think) 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as well as a couple of others server IPs I have handy always work just fine every single time. It's ONLY the PN DNS servers that I'm seeing as having trouble resolving reliably and nothing has changed in that respect since yesterday evening despite various different gateways being used.
... wanders off to find cheque book just in case
