I dunno. But I have been experiencing RoadRunner DNS problems intermittently during the past hour or so. Comes and goes. Working around it is complicated by the fact that I am running my own DNS cache. Maybe I'll just go to bed and hope that it has fixed itself by morning.
I have had problems with Cox DNS in the past. Similar to what is described in this thread (it would go wacko at certain times of the day/night). They would also occasionally change the IP addresses (as sent to my router when it renewed its lease). Now I use my own DNS at randomlogic.net and a second at antimatter.net. They are each located at different data centers and each data center have multiple fast Internet pipes.
Since doing this I haven't had a problem with the exception of a short time when I updated the primary to bind 9.5 (to fix the DNS poison vulnerability that all previous versions of bind and other DNS systems suffer from) and didn't realize at first that the config. needed to be updated as well (after the update it was a little too secure and no remote systems could query it! :o )
The bottom line, I don't trust Cox or TWC DNS (or mail) servers. They seem to not care much about the individual customer since they have so many. I now use my own DNS and mail servers and bypass theirs.
