Is this the complete listing of Cox DNS servers that the end-user can see? I ordered it alphabetically based on, which I assume, is a two-letter city designation.

1 edit | said by masterdave23 :looks like some one is planing to attack there dns servers :P j/k No, just building a list of DNS servers of Cox. I was working on my two DNS servers and started to wonder what DNS servers Cox uses.
I went the DNS FAQ for this forum and it was blank, so I did a search on Google and it turned on the original list that I posted. I then went and looked and found a lot were not on that list so I started this thread to see what other ones were out there.
Why did I do it?
•Fun
•Our Cox DNS FAQ is empty
•So that I can update the forwarders on my DNS servers to my ISP's DNS servers

Based on what I'm reading here it looks like Cox may be consolidating DNS? Omaha, Oklahoma, and Tuscon using the same "cnds" servers. Can anyone who is using those servers confirm that they're using the DNS redirection crap for mistyped URL's? |

I've contacted the Cox DNS Server List FAQ and made him aware of this thread so it can be updated:
»Cox HSI Forum FAQ »What are the names and IP addresses of the Cox DNS servers for manual setup |

I've always wanted a list of the Cox DNS servers. This is a great idea adding it to the Cox FAQs.
Also, it would be nice if Cox could update us when they change DNS servers, too.... (and why)
Thanks for the post, exocet_cm! |

Thanks, SoonerAl , that confirms what I thought. I switched to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 when they started this a while back. |

2 edits | Wow, apparently Baton Rouge and New Orleans has more DNS servers than the two listed, bold are the new DNS servers I found:
68.109.202.20
68.109.202.23
68.109.202.24
68.109.202.25
68.109.202.29
68.109.202.30
Though the 24-29 list as "proxy.[two city letter designation].cox.net" in different areas. I probably would not rely on those for DNS as Cox might be using these for something else and probably not dedicated DNS resolution, but only a Cox rep could tell us.

Looks like they are also showing up in California as well, and three more to go with em.
