Re: [PLUG] DNS Problem Now

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

The DNS servers came back very shortly after I wrote the original 
message.  I was able to use e-mail by pointing to my Web host's DNS 
server.  This time I gathered information beyond lack of name 
resolution.  Here's what I found...

Bad: nmap showed a response time of 56 seconds when I scanned TCP port 
53.  ping timed out every time using default values.

Good: nmap shows response times of 0 to 3 seconds when scanning TCP port 
53.  ping shows that the servers are online.

What would cause *all* DNS servers to have extremely long response times?
