Subject: Ping a DNS???
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 09:09:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030110090952.A303@lnx2.w8mch.ampr.org> (raw)
Greetings: Contemplating an ISP change I thought I'd ping the present
thence the proposed DNS's to evaluate the round trip time..
The present, 204.97.4.2, returned it's RTT to be expected.. The
proposed, 65.196.16.3, returned "100% packet loss" - not expected.
Both addresses are in /etc/resolv.conf, but that shouldn't make a
difference here - IMHO. <grin> Also; since I'm connected to the INet
via the present ISP my ping testing idea might be a dumb one.
Invoking 'dig' for both addresses I find a difference in the report:
"ANSWER" is set = 1, on the working site and = 0 on the non-working.
This is obvious, to me, what's happening but I can't help but
wonder if that might mean I wont be able to use that site? /Or/ why
would a SysAdm set his/her site to not support ping? I'm confused.
TIA and thanks,
