DNS problems and UUNET?

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

I'm starting to get some heat over some DNS problems at ITworld.com. Many
of our people use mindspring to dial in, and mindspring's DNS servers
aren't resolving our domain. I've checked our master DNS server, and
everything seems fine there. I can't think of anything else to check.

A few people suggested that the problem might be related to a recent
outage at UUNET, but my boss wants some hard evidence to show his boss,
and as far as his boss is concerned, what I've passed on so far is just
vague speculation.

Who else has been having these problems? Can anyone identify specifically
what's been happening, or at least help to prove (or disprove) that the
problem is widespread? If I can point my boss to a specific trouble-ticket
describing the problem, that would be ideal. Or if nothing else, maybe a
sufficiently large set of anecdotes of others having troubles this week
would be of some help.

For what it's worth, our ISP is CERFnet; I'm not sure how CERFnet relates
to UUNET, but maybe it will prove relevant.

Thanks.
