Request Timed out from 59.179.243.70

[Tyger]

I am just curious as to why i am getting 'Request Timed out' when i ping 59.179.243.70(MTNL's Preferred DNS Server)?No problem in pinging any other sites or open dns or even the alternate DNS Server of MTNL, i.e. 203.94.243.70.This thing just started about 10 minutes back. I was getting reply earlier.

This has happened to me many times over the last 3 months, their DNS severs seem to go on the blink on a regular basis. Started again from Sat 18-7-09. Now I use OpenDNS which usually has a latency of 208 - 209 now its anyhwere between 265 - 309 ms. Seems MTNL has a problem which they cant seem to fix. Another problem is sudden downgrading of your sync rates when there is frequent DC. :notallowed:
