Are you sure its just DNS?  Lately I;ve noticed lots of mini-outages of
about 10 minutes...  Up to two or three a day.

Subject: OT: Telstra Cable DNS flaky?


Hi,

Now that Jim has a nice new cable connection I hope he is not plagued by 
DNS failures.  I have noticed that periodically throughout the day today I 
cannot resolve host names.  Web browsing hangs (cannot find server), email 
won't send (cannot find server) or can't be fetched, and my hourly weather 
graphs have failed at least once (Host name lookup failure).  Often a 
single retry will fix things, but sometimes things will stall for minutes.

I am on Paradise cable in St Albans, Chch.  Anyone having similar problems?
