[geeks] Public DNS server in the U.S.

[sammy ominsky]

One of my employees here, and I, have been having the same problem  
all day.  We're both 012 customers, so we thought it was them.   
You're on netvision, though, so maybe it's not.

As another data point, she's on DSL, I'm on cable.

I tried using a US DNS server, and got no response.  I wonder if DNS  
traffic is being choked somehow?
