[TriLUG] DNS

[Chris MacLeod]

Kinda an odd question but are these boxes on Road Runner at home?

I didn't see anywhere in your config where you listed your forwarders.

Recently (last week I think) TW/RR changed their dns servers that they hand out to all their clients.
My dns got slow (b/c I was forwarding to servers that weren't responding anymore) and My dad's completely broke until
I went and fixed it.  

Just a shot in the dark...
