DNS issues


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

The previous post about this was locked, so I couldn't reply there, but I have the same issue. DNS resolution to lavag.org from my laptop fails >80% of the time. I have temporary fixed it by putting lavag in my hosts file. Hopefully you guys won't change your IP too often. The really odd thing is that I can access LAVA from my desktop, and I can access every other website I have tried from my laptop. I have tried flushing my DNS cache, but the problem persists.

The issue has started to creep back up for me as well. On any given day it's a crapshoot whether or not DNS will resolve for lavag.

I believe my problem is due to a proxy we have in place at our work, especially since it only applies on hard-wired connections, our wireless works fine. Something about that proxy is seems to pick up bad DNS entries every so often. Given that it involves our corporate network, I anticipate the problem being efficiently resolved some time before our sun burns out.

Sounds similar to an issue I had once. The provider changed the server I was hosted on and required me to update my NS records to the new server. I added all the new ones but I missed deleting one of the old ones (although I could swear blind I got them all). The result was intermittent DNS lookups because there was a 1 in 3 chance the lookup was done through the old one..

I have Google DNS servers set on my routers. This issue does not discriminate between my wireless or hardwired connections. Accessing LAVA has been flawless since I added the IP to the hosts file. This leads me to suspect there is a bad DNS record for LAVA floating around somewhere out there.

Edit: apparently someone switched the DNS server on the router here, so no Google DNS. After switching to Google DNS on this machine, LAVA is good again. Very interesting.
