Re: DNS lookup failure on one PN server

Resolves ok using opendns, google dns, level 3 dns and the root servers.
For interest I also tried and successfully resolved using this dns == 83-244-207-119.cust-83.exponential-e.net.  Wink

Re: DNS lookup failure on one PN server

Just tested a few...

$ dig @212.159.6.9 dansdata.com

Re: DNS lookup failure on one PN server

dig hangs for quite a while before returning a result using dig @212.118.241.33 dansdata.com
Can anybody confirm the same results?

Re: DNS lookup failure on one PN server

The nameservers for dansdata.com are ns1.dnswizards.com and ns2.dnswizards.com.
ns1.dnswizards.com = 64.85.13.6
ns2.dnswizards.com = 64.85.19.190
There doesn't appear to be any problem repeatedly doing "dig @64.85.13.6 ns2.dnswizards.com" and "dig @64.85.19.190 dansdata.com".
But "dig @212.159.6.9 ns1.dnswizards.com" often times out.
11110_110: dig @212.118.241.33 dansdata.com often times out or replies after over 3 seconds. I recommend +tries=1 in your .digrc file. If dig takes a long time but then prints out a lower response time, it may have retried the query.
Edit: 212.118.241.33 replies with SERVFAIL after 3-4 seconds, or times out.

Doesn't seem to like the 212 ip range...

Gives a "SERVFAIL" here.
I normally find that to be a very reliable resolver.

Re: DNS lookup failure on one PN server

If you've got the time you can test some of these.

The two demon.co.uk servers don't resolve it and they're 212....    Cheesy
