Public bug reported: About 5% of DNS queries resolve to 0.0.0.0.
A couple of times an hour during normal browsing, Firefox resolves a domain to 0.0.0.0. Opening the same site in Chrome has a 50% chance of it working, then it normally works after a few reloads. Thunderbird has also occasionally resolved googlemail.com to 0.0.0.0. Domains include google.com, wikipedia.org, harvestapp.com and many more. I couldn't reproduce this with dig/nslookup for a while, but after 5 minutes of (re)trying random domains) did: $ dig mail.google.com ; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> mail.google.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 22905 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mail.google.com.
