Hi All,

One of my client's domains which is registered with Afrihost appears to have had intermittent DNS issues over the last couple of days. Ping and web browsers have been reporting "Server not found" across different broadband service providers including TENET, Vodacom 3G and TI and on different machines, so it does not appear to be a DNS issue on the broadband provider side, or a local configuration issue.

The domain registration only has two name servers, DNS1.CO.ZA and DNS2.CO.ZA, which are both local it appears.

Have lodged a ticket, but it takes about 12 or more hours between each interaction, and they don't believe there is a problem.

Is anyone else having issues?

<- edit added broadband service providers for more clarity ->

Well at least the two name servers are geographically seperated, one at IS and one at MTN business.

You didn't give the domain name so can't test it form here..
 
Thanks T-Man. Older join date and fewer posts. I am impressed. Very!

Think I might move the domain to more reliable DNS servers, look after yourself ;-)
