| 353878 | 2005-05-12 11:21:00 | Can anybody explain why a small number of users might have problems with an ISPs DNS when the majority do not? What actually happens to their connection that does not happen to the others? I'm having trouble getting to grips with this concept, though clearly it is affecting some people. Are there individual configuration options that could influence connectivity? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

It goes something like this: User wants to go to www.stupidsite.xx.xx DNS Request out --> where is www.stupidsite.xx.xx DNS Server responds --> it's at IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ZoneAlarm : ALERT: "alien.xtra.co.nz is trying to hax your jiggahurtz" User: HOLY CRAP: "BLOCK" We get e-mails on an almost daily basis from fruits running personal firewall software wanting to know why "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (our NS IP's) are trying to "hack" them. That said Xtra's DNS servers are running extremely old and somewhat deprecated versions of the DNS software, they are also known to ignore standard TTL's etc so often cache old information. |
