Subject: [ILUG] Eircom DNS Problems?


Im having problems trying to access a lot of websites, yahoo.com for one. Yahoo uses an akamai server, us.i1.yimg.com, which when resolved with eircom's DNS server (159.134.237.6) resolves to an eircom IP which is unreachable. Other nameservers resolve this correctly.
 
Can somebody else using eircom as their ISP confirm this for me?
 
Thanks,
Stephen
