DNS NXDOMAIN through Comcast servers

[cosoco]

I noticed that the forum wasn't working for me on my windows system, so I logged into my linux system to check it. I noticed something funny - google's DNS servers correctly resolve it, but comcast's servers don't.

Here's the condensed version of the problem:

cosoco@host:~$ nslookup forum.questionablequesting.com 8.8.8.8
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: forum.questionablequesting.com
Address: 192.73.235.19
cosoco@host:~$ nslookup forum.questionablequesting.com 75.75.75.75
Server: 75.75.75.75
Address: 75.75.75.75#53
** server can't find forum.questionablequesting.com: NXDOMAIN


Right now, I'm working around this by adding a line in my /etc/hosts.

I'm a comcast subscriber, BTW.

So switch to Google DNS on your windows machine? Alternatively, OpenDNS is an option.

QQ DNS has been funky tonight, don't know why. Lots of people have had trouble with it in the past 10 or so hours.
