DNS Issues
Hi Geoff,
I dropped a shortcut to my hosts file onto my XP desktop and if I had problems where the domain couldn't be resolved, I'd unrem the line I've put in there with the domain and it's IP address and resave it and away I'd go with hardly any problems. About a month ago I just left it in my hosts file I was having so much DNS resolution failures and I've had a great run. Only rem'med it 2-3 days ago and good first day but then next day no dice 'page cannot be displayed blah blah' so I'm back using my hosts file.
In my experience the 'outage' is 98% a DNS issue, not a server or site issue. I learned some more about DNS recently on a job so I'll dig that stuff out and run some checks and PM you anything interesting.
Regards
Alex
