DNS preggers again

[#1]

I had a weird issue last night and this morning. I was suddenly around 10pm unable to view any web pages at all. I was still able to play games (CSS) and download torrents (P2P) but http was not working. I was too tired last night to mess but i did reboot the router a couple of times and also reset the little bugger. I left it on overnight and this morning it was still not working for http. I raised a fault through your portal and went through the steps to resolve the case. now i am not at home so i had to get my g/f to do most, and she says once she entered the http://212.64.x.x bbc address in the address bar, she was then able to connect to web pages. Rather weird tbh. All fixed now anyway, but just wondered if anyone had similar issues last night?
Thanks,
Richard.

I also had something strange happen about 45 minutes ago: I lost all connectivity (I disconnected from IRC and iPlayer told me I was offline) but according to my router, my sync and connection to PN never dropped. It could be completely unrelated; it might be, for example, that my wireless temporarily faded without me noticing... but I thought I'd mention it just in case. Aside from that though, everything seems to have worked well for me for the last couple of days.

As mentioned, we don't think there's anything wrong with DNS. After intensive testing/investigation all the DNS caches check out fine. We've also checked the configuration of the load balancers and all the interfaces look fine and aren't suffering from any load issues.
The next step would probably be to start looking at traffic flows and the Ellacoyas. We made some changes recently to the traffic management setup and what people are seeing could be something to do with that.
In order for you guys to help with the diagnosis, it helps if you have an understanding about how traffic is routed to the DNS servers.
This might be above a few peoples' heads but hopefully some of you will find it useful.
There are 4 'virtual ips' that our customers use for DNS resolution, you'll probably know these by the following 4 IP addresses.
212.159.6.9
212.159.6.10
212.159.13.49
212.159.13.50
We have 2 'loadbalanced' sites that 'advertise' these IP's via OSPF. Using OSPF, traffic is pushed through our routers (e.g.pcl-gw01) to whichever site is closest to the gateway you're connected to.
The OSPF information advertised by the loadbalancers to the network just tells network routers how close they are so that a decision can be made on the closest server to route traffic – I could go into more details but it's a little beyond the scope of this thread.
e.g.

dns_request(pc/router)--->pcl-ag01--->pcl-gw01--->pcl-loadbalancer--->cache0(1-4)

This is where the problem arises because what is actually a network/routing problem can easily be misinterpreted as a DNS failure.
To help with diagnosis there are a few things that you can do when you're suffering from problems.
Firstly, find out what of the 4 DNS addresses you are using. You might already know this however if you don't you should find the information on one of your router's status pages. Failing that, you can run the ipconfig command from a Windows command prompt:

Quote from: ipconfig

C:\Users\admin>ipconfig /all Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : lan Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Con nection Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1B-77-C5-37-5E DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::6d63:2b26:cfac:4ead%10(Preferred) IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.65(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : 23 April 2009 12:44:41 Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : 24 April 2009 12:44:41 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 212.159.13.49 <--- If this shows your router's IP address then you'll need to look on your router status pages for the addresses you're using. 212.159.13.50 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

Secondly, run a traceroute from a Windows command line to each of the DNS addresses. This will tell us both what gateway you're connected to and which of the two loadbalanced sites your DNS traffic is going to.

Finally try performing a DNS lookup against each of the DNS addresses using a command line utility like 'nslookup'

The next time any of you are having problems, try some of the steps above and post your findings back here.

[#4]

good bit of infromation there bob and far beyound what any other isp would do for such a problem that is being seen.
thats if any other isp would even investigate such a problem.
i've allways used 212.159.13.49    212.159.13.50 ip's and as i havent seen any problems i will switch to the other ip's and see if theres any diffrence beetween the pair

Still having troubles this evening, has yet to really easy off for me at all.
My tests tonight...
Router DNS set to 212.159.6.9

I've never done a tracert on "Ask" before. Shock, so is this why it takes so long to load compared to Google, as it's served by akamai - it's the damn traffic management

I'm beginning to think that this traffic management has gone totally overboard.

[#10]

Very slow, strangulated page loading here again. Definitely a continuing problem. Awful. Reminds me of dial up.

I've been wondering that too, considering that gurth's examples earlier - BBC and Facebook - both also use Akamai.

[#12]

Just to point out the (what might be) obvious - Facebook is pretty sluggish no matter what ISP you're on.
It's pretty chuggy on my O2 connection.

[#13]

Facefook - yeah I did think that at the time but the home page is usually not half as bad as inside once you start pulling all the rubbish from the apps & pictures etc. I did try some wget requests, on myspace profiles, from the terminal of my Ubuntu box but couldn't get the recurisve paramater quite right. I thought that would be good test as elements of the page can oftern come from hundreds of sources. They were very slow but as I said I couldn't get the recursive parameter quite right so I didn't feel I could trust the results.
Just fired up http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ and its zipped into life, started streaming fine so hopefully things will be sorted for me now on. If performance dips again I'll run some more test.
Thank you for keeping the issue open and investigating.
