Anyone else getting DNS errors?

Anyone seeing random DNS errors? I've already reported it to Support and they saw a couple of issues. It's mainly affecting one site for me:

Getting some odd DNS results:

But I also couldn't get to a couple of other sites. I've tried rebooting my router and IExplore instead of Chrome.

I've had to refresh a number of pages at different sites to get them to load today. I didn't think anything of it until I read your post, I assumed it was a problem with their hosts but maybe not. If it happens again I'll do some testing.

Switching to Google DNS seems to resolve the problem. Two or three other members of that forum are also seeing issues and I wouldn't expect us all to be IDNet users. Unless posting mindless drivel on a wide variety of topics is something that particularly appeals to IDNetters

I've been getting "Resolving host" warning messages (Chrome on a Mac) tonight, but only on sites where my adblocker was disabled. Enable the adblocker and the messages disappeared, disable it and back they come... ie blame Google 

It seems to be OK now.

I never disable my adblocker

I've switched back to default DNS and things do seem fine again.

I don't do it very often, but there are a few sites where I'll put up with the ads for the sake of their financial well-being
