Borked DNS

July 30, 2007 on 8:55 am | In Ottawa Adventures, Personal | By QBasicer |

Alrighty, so I’m quietly surfing the web in my living room, when I decide to visit the Allegro Website, when it takes 2 minutes to resolve the DNS. Being the person I am (and running Linux at the time), I decide it might be interesting to see what IP it was resolving to. So I ran the host command, and pretty soon I noticed a pattern of always resolving to 123.123.123.123 or 123.123.123.125. Even for my OWN website. With some help of kc32, I managed to set up a custom DNS server that takes it’s DNS requests from OpenDNS. I’m unsure whether it fixed the problem, but I’ll just have to check tonight when I get home.

On the Other Hand

The exams like HP0-790 are worth taking for it professionals and people can seek help regarding their solved question from Internet. Similarly HP0-678 also facilitates students to come up and show their skills in the field of IT. The ccna meet the criteria of exam offered to candidates seeking a single-exam preference for the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification. The ccie is the most respected IT certification and it stands for California colleges for international education. Other exams like 642-503, 642-176 and 3M0-600 are it related and require full preparation that can be obtained through various websites.

  1. Bah, I was having trouble with Bell DNS for a while not to long ago. I gave up on them because they are stupid. I also am not at all a fan of OpenDNS. My solution was to just set my DNS servers to 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4, 4.2.2.5, 4.2.2.6. They work magnificently. Much faster and much more reliable than stupid Bell. (I believe they belong to Verizon (I like these ones because they are nice and easy to remember)).

  2. I completely agree, but my ISP is Rogers I think. It’s really messed. Although it’s rogers, there’s something called Boldstreet in there. Unfortunately, I don’t have control over the ISP I have without paying for it myself.

    As for Aliant, I rarely had any problems with them.

  3. Hope OpenDNS helped.

    Not sure why your commenter Nick isn’t a fan.
