one possiblility ...DNS server cant talk to the root servers but is
resolving some addresses from it's cache. If that's the case then before
long (depending on how your DNS server is configured) all the entries will
age out and no names will be resolved.
your pings timing out is not uncommon accross the internet a cached entry
on your router or DNS is probably resolving the name to an address ..
Maybe your ISP Is having problems with it's DNS servers
I might be right I might be wrong let us know what you find out .. try NS
lookup to see how names are being /not being resolved
