[AusNOG] Brisbane Telstra DNS issues

[Mike Manning]

Hi Sean,

Yep - we've got customers calling us saying they can't get email - all on Telstra too - they can ping the IP of our domain hosting server but can't resolve any names.  Doing an NSLookup with the Telstra DNS servers fails to find our servers too.

Subject: [AusNOG] Brisbane Telstra DNS issues

Hi is anyone else experiencing Telstra DNS issues in Brisbane?

It appears as though someone at Telstra has blocked all UDP-Port53 requests from any Telstra connection in Brisbane.

Not only can't I resolve using Telstra's Brisbane DNS, I can't resolve any other nameservers when using a Telstra ADSL Connection here in Sunny Brisvegas.

This issue appears to be Widespread.

If someone from Telstra is Lurking, please unblock UDP port 53 as it's kind of essential for Internets to work.

Sean.
