Re: [AZ] usajobs.gov lookup problems on Cox DNS servers
Thanks, but using the IP address directly doesn't work (try it). I'm not sure why, but it might be related to the fact that monster.com (the contractor for usajobs) is an "Akamaized" site.
And like you say, that's a kludge. If it's a problem with Cox, it'll be for them to fix. It could also be a problem with monster.com, though. I don't know how to determine which.
Incidentally, I also did my dig queries from a completely non-Cox network, and got the same results. So being on the Cox network doesn't seem to factor in to this.

AAaaaaaaaaaaa. There is your answer. Something is amiss on the other end, with www.usajobs.gov |

| I'm not convinced that this shows it's usajobs.gov. I meant that I queried *Cox's* nameservers from a non-Cox network, just to rule out the freakish possibility that the originator of the DNS query was relevant to this problem. And I think I ruled it out. The problem still remains, though: 68.105.28.12, 68.105.29.12, and 68.105.28.11 (all Cox DNS servers) fail out when querying anything at usajobs.gov, but *seven* other non-Cox DNS servers that I tried have no trouble at all. In fact this evidence strongly suggests to me that it *isn't* usajobs that's the problem, which is why I posted here. If usajobs.gov really did have a problem, why would only Cox nameservers expose it?
I apologize if I haven't been explicit enough about what the issue is. I'm going to put in a tech support email to both Cox and usajobs.gov.
