[AusNOG] Brisbane Telstra DNS issues

[Jarryd Sullivan]

Confirmed a few things here, using a non-Telstra internet service to query their DNS servers works OK. However from a Telstra service DNS requests time out.

Doesn't look like it's just port 53 UDP. From a non-Telstra internet service I can telnet to 139.130.4.4 on port 53 and from a Telstra service the connection fails.

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.
