DNS corruption

I know Akamai's DNS servers got hit with some sort of attack the other day - could this be related? A corruption in DNS cache on their end, or on the user's machines that are experiencing the problem?

For an end user who's having the problem - what happens if you run an ipconfig /flushdns and reboot? Any change?

I don't know... Mine was doing this as early as the 1st of June, and that was before they reported the issues. Also, mine does not try to get to broadbandreports, rather dslreports. Why would that happen?

Do you normally access the site via dslreports.com or broadbandreports.com?

dslreports. Is it just using the cache on the system to resolve it?

Beats me, i'm just a Civil Engineer..LOL.

But it just seems to me that this sort of thing would point more toward a local issue as opposed to a DNS/Akamai thing as others are theorizing--or perhaps a combination of the two.

All I know is that it was doing it at the start of the month, before they reported the issue. The oddity is that when you close za, and then reopen it, it will stop doing it, then arbitrarily just start up again a few hours later.

FWIW.... I use the free EZ firewall from CA (which is based on ZA) and i don't see any problem.
