Any else having problems on SAIX today?
Heavy DNS timeouts from 196.43.46.190 and 196.43.45.190 (using my own DNS server atm!)
Took 2 minutes to open http://www.saix.net/cgi-bin/saix_dns.pl

If you're having the same problems, use one of working ips below (recommend last 2)
196.25.1.11 works for cached content, timeouts for non cached queries
196.43.1.11 - working fine (slow recursive))
196.43.34.190 - working fine (fast)
196.43.38.190 - working fine (fast)
196.43.42.190 - broken (slow recursive)
196.43.45.190 - broken, recursive dns doesn't work, reports incorrect cached ips!
196.43.46.190 - broken, recursive dns doesn't work,
196.43.50.190 - working fine
196.43.53.190 - working fine (v fast)
196.43.54.190 - working fine (v fast)
 
Ok, changed my DNS servers to the last two and all the timeout problems + slow page loading that I've been having all day as been resolved. If you're having the same problems I suggest you do the same.

Just_Ice: Out of curiosity which DNS servers were you assigned? I'm wondering if the problem is limited to a certain area
 
Hi Glipsie,

You could always use OpenDNS DNS servers:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

They're very reliable ;)
