Re: Ongoing AT&T Proxy server problems?
said by SomeFool  :My questions are this. Who's in charge of the DNS servers? From a systems standpoint, is this AT&T stuff or Yahoo stuff? Help me understand how the parts of this system are supposed to work together. Yahoo! is just a content provider. Provisioning, and transport are handled by AT&T Internet Services (ATTIS). Including DNS.
What DNS server IP addresses do you get when you obtain your IP address automatically? Just curious; I've seen some still pulling specific servers instead of the "Anycast" DNS servers. I thought the whole ATTIS system was moving to the "Anycast" servers.
For reasons I can't fathom, AT&T Midwest seems to have more troubles with DNS than the rest of the system.

Metro Chgo | Ok thanks, then I'm not alone having these occasional DNS problems. It would be refreshing if the AT&T tech's would simply say -- Nevermind, the problem is ours, it's not on your end.
At present my DNS's are at 68.94.156.1 and 68.94.157.1 |

Trace route varies by location because of the nature of the way that "Anycast" works. It is supposed to be an improvement. "Anycast" works very well for Level 3 (4.x.x.x) and OpenDNS. I've not seen a lot of problems reported with the ATTIS "Anycast" DNS servers in AT&T Northeast, AT&T Southwest, or AT&T West. I have had no trouble in the S.F. Bay Area (AT&T West). The most problems I have seen reported with ATTIS DNS service have been in AT&T Midwest.
