Re: [SLUG] t/s dns name resolution, lack of

[Marty Richards <marty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Voytek,

Everything looks good for that domain in DNS land currently.

I'm guessing that they had a DNS issue recently and that certain large 
DNS servers like Telstra have cached the bad entry. If this is so, then 
the cached entries should time out in the next day or so... 
Alternatively, some of the .pl top level name servers might be missing 
some glue records - again this should resolve itself soon.

I'm thinking this way because other DNS servers (in Australia) are not 
having any problems resolving this name, but Telstra definately is. 
(Pacific Internet also has this problem).

How long have you seen this problem? If it persists for more than 1 day 
I would be tempted to contact gazetaprawna.pl and let them know that 
they have a problem with some of the biggest DNS servers in Australia 
not resolving their names. You could also log a fault with Telstra on 
behalf of your BigPond customer - it doesn't hurt to attack these 
problems from both sides.

Cheers,
Marty
