Intermittent Outage?

[Willanthry]

G'day Geoff

Now that i'm a member of this site, i try to access it a lot more often. I don't know if it's a problem at my end or not, but it seems that the only time i can access the site is at night (over here). If i try in the morning or during the day, the page is not to be found, no matter how many times i refresh it.

I wonder if that's a peak time for action on the forums here?

Cheers
Toby

Toby, try http://orbit.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/forums/ for easier access. Something's screwed up with either the MAPLELEAFUP.ORG domain name or the domain server itself at odd times. I'm working to resolve the situation, but it's like herding cats...

Hi Geoff,

I dropped a shortcut to my hosts file onto my XP desktop and if I had problems where the domain couldn't be resolved, I'd unrem the line I've put in there with the domain and it's IP address and resave it and away I'd go with hardly any problems. About a month ago I just left it in my hosts file I was having so much DNS resolution failures and I've had a great run. Only rem'med it 2-3 days ago and good first day but then next day no dice 'page cannot be displayed blah blah' so I'm back using my hosts file.

In my experience the 'outage' is 98% a DNS issue, not a server or site issue. I learned some more about DNS recently on a job so I'll dig that stuff out and run some checks and PM you anything interesting.

Regards

Alex
