I find it interesting that so many of you use the DNS provided by your
ISP. I bet many are not even patched for the latest vulnerabilies.
I would think at the very least tech savvy people would be using
high level DNS servers like 4.2.2.2 & 4.2.2.1.
Best case senario would be using something like OpenDNS 208.67.222.222
and 208.67.220.220.

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.
