I second using external DNS such as OpenDNS or Google's DNS service, at least have it on hand for when you need it.

Yes, have been having intermittent problems with 8ta this week especially.

Dynamic DNS does not work, and neither does Google Public DNS ( Pri 8.8.8.8 and Sec 8.8.4.4 ).

The 8ta DNS addresses do work intermittently ( Pri 196.207.40.165 and Sec 196.43.46.190 ).

8ta uses SAIX DNSes. Please see the below link for the list of DNSes available.
