| 198683 | 2003-12-09 05:13:00 | Good evening people, I have a number of websites and some are subject to an interesting problem. They become "unavailable" at certain times, usually in the morning NZ time. They are hosted on servers in the US. We are wondering whether the DNS update might have something to do with it, assuming at happens at a similar time daily. If you ping the web server, its there, but the name doesn't resolve. I use Clear's DNS for resolving, so could it be their servers. Can anyone shed any light on this (yes it could be a number of things). Cheers |

| 198686 | 2003-12-09 06:57:00 | I use Xtra's Terminator and Alien (202.27.184.3 and .5 respectively) and they seem fine... Even though Im with Ihug. It may help posting a site in this thread next time :-) See if its just you.... If you're on a WinNT-Based machine, open up a command prompt and type: nslookup then type: server 202.27.184.3 This will temporarily set your dns server to Xtra's Alien server. Chill. |
