Well I have had certain domains that roger's DNS simply seems to not be
able to resolve, while other DNS servers have no problems.  This has
been going on for probably most of the last year.  It comes and goes.
When it happens though it seems to affect both my cablemodem at home,
and the T1 at work.  I guess they probably go through the same DNS
servers at rogers.  Pointing DNS at a different server seems to solve
everything though.  You would think a company the size of rogers could
figure out how to run a working DNS server, but then again you would be
wrong. :)
