I’m not sure how many people couldn’t access my site the past week or two, or if I was the only one for that matter. But apparently Time Warner’s DNS servers have been screwed up leaving a lot of people without Internet access, here (NC) as well as on the other side of the country. So once I figured that out, I switched my router to OpenDNS, reset the NIC on my server, and I could access my site. (Previously, my personal computer was the only one using OpenDNS, so of course I didn’t notice any outages.)

I guess I don’t completely understand DNS because it was my understanding that it only mattered what DNS the client was using not the server. Well at least it works now. For me anyway.

Edit: I guess the jokes on me, it’s still happening.

Edit2, 12-24: Looks like it’s fixed for me. My ISP’s status page is only showing problems for Raleigh.

Edit3, 12-30: It’s on and off apparently. Wish there was something I could do about it.
