Problems with Internet DNS Servers

Over the last few days we've had clients encounter problems with Internet DNS Servers and name resolution.  Here's what we've observed:

  1. Charter DNS Servers.  Charter may have blocked DNS queries coming from non Charter Internet lines.
  2. Time Warner DNS Servers.  We've had problems with Time Warner DNS servers resolving Thompson Stock Trading addresses.
  3. Verizon DNS Servers.  We've had problems with Verizon DNS servers resolving www.ebay.com.

Using Google DNS servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 appears to solve the name resolution problems.
