Ongoing DNS Issues? Timeouts....

Hi
Lots of timeouts today, still happening now.
Checked TG582n:
Connectivity to DNS Server 1 (212.159.6.9) is  failing regularly.
Just me, or others got probs? Plusnet service status states that this problem was resolved @ 14:15.
Router has been rebooted.

Re: Ongoing DNS Issues? Timeouts....

I'm at my parents house this evening and I've been having all sorts of trouble. I put it down to their ropey line but Plusnet's RADIUS logs suggest it's been connected throughout (minus a handful of PPP disconnect/reconnects initiated by myself) Undecided

Re: Ongoing DNS Issues? Timeouts....

Think I may be seeing this issue as well as painfully slow tonight even on these forums.
I did a trace route to www.google.com and it seemed to get the DNS ok, but took 12 hops and one hop is slow.

Re: Ongoing DNS Issues? Timeouts....

Part of the output from a run of namebench shows Plusnet DNS is not well:
212.159.6.9 SYS-212.159.6.9 cdns01.plus.net 23636.64 14.0 30
   A backup DNS server for this system.
   40 queries to this host failed
   Failed 8 tests, last: Too many warnings (8), probably broken.
212.159.6.10 SYS-212.159.6.10 cdns02.plus.net 42187.72 17.3 10
   The current preferred DNS server.
   91 queries to this host failed
   Failed 8 tests, last: Too many warnings (7), probably broken.

Re: Ongoing DNS Issues? Timeouts....

I am also experiencing this I think. Trying to browse the internet and just getting timed out constantly. Managed to download a game fine though.

Looks like there was an engineer call out an hour or two ago so I'm fairly confident it's being worked on (ref: 79830). I'll nudge somebody to get a service status post out.

I'm glad it's not just me.
I have just rebooted everything thinking it was just me.
Took ages to complete my purchases.
