More trouble with FiOS Router
The problem I reported earlier wherein my Verizon-supplied router stops responding to DNS requests has come up again, only this time it’s intermittent failure, not an outage. A couple days ago my roommate bitched that no DNS queries were resolving; at the time I wrote it off as end-user delusion, but I am beginning to suspect it was another instance of this router problem.
My hope is that the router’s DNS server is just flaky and/or doesn’t run well under heavy load, so I’ve adjusted my OpenBSD router’s BIND configuration to forward DNS requests to OpenDNS instead of the FiOS router. Hopefully that fixes it; I’d hate to have to engage Verizon’s dreaded Endless Loop Support Process(tm).
