Starting Saturday I suddenly seemed to have random problems resolving website addresses. It seems like many sites give an immediate page/website doesn't exist error in the browser but repeatedly refreshing the page eventually loads the website (sometimes). I get the impression Telkom's DNS is on the blink - anyone having the same problem? It's getting quite frustrating as every other website I attempt to access generates this error, and repeatedly reloading the site often eventually loads the page.
It might not be DNS though, as it feels a bit like maybe there is a badly configured transparent proxy in operation which needs a bit of time to "fetch" an uncached website???
Does anyone know if Telkom has a transparent proxy/cache running on ADSL? I'm becoming a trifle suspicious about this because some websites don't seem to change as much as they should, i.e. news websites that stay stuck on yesterday's news for too long???
