Anyone else getting a lot of DNS errors when surfing head-fi?

[abs@nilenet.com]

Recently, I have been getting a lot of DNS errors when surfing www.head-fi.org. They can make it downright difficult to read the forums! I don't get them anywhere else. I did some research and when I am getting the errors, both DNS servers for head-fi.org are unreachable. One thing I have noticed that both of those DNS servers (ns0.bmatter.com and ns1.bmatter.com) are on the same network which usually isn't recommended for redundancy and avoiding network issues with any one at a time.

Is anyone else getting these errors?

Head-Fi is working very smoothly for me.

I receive some DNS errors as well.
Some days are far worse than others. But it usually happens at this time of the day (9pm and later)

Yes- and when I try to use my bookmark, more errors. The only thing that does eventually work is giving it some time and then manually typing in the address.

I just got a Page Cannot Be Found error but a refresh worked okay. It's just the load on the server or network, probably.

I've been experiencing a lot of delayed page loads. Clicking on a link to a thread pretty much immediately displays the new URL in the address bar, and a blank light blue background is displayed, and the IE status bar shows "Done".....but in a matter of seconds, the page loads. If it doesn't load in maybe 10 seconds, it seems as if it never does, and the page just stays blank.

A DNS server resolves a nice name like head-fi.org into a dotted decimal number (IP address). Try tying in the IP manually into your web browser and see if that helps: Http://166.90.205.111

Did you notice that if you access the forum page via

http://166.90.205.111/forums/

that it doesn't recognize you and asks you to log in?

The Internet has been completely unavailable / dead several times this afternoon for me. There was Nothing available- 0- Nada. Really odd.

No issues where I am.

That's because the cookies are stored based on the URL of the website. Same thing can happen on sites if the www isn't required (as in "example.com" and "www.example.com", you'll have different cookies for each).

Yes, and thats perfectly normal. Cause you have no cookie (with log-in information) that match this address.

I don't get dns errors per se but do run across issues with www4.head-fi.org. Removing the 4 and going back to the primary webserver seems to help. I guess there's an issue on that server/virtual server/whatever.
