I have not seen any DNS problems. It is best to list the sites that you 
are having problems with. Additionally, you can use dig(1) to see if 
there is a propagation issue. 
dig [ @<server> ] address 

Use the @server to see if 4.2.2.1gives you a different result than some 
other servers. It is sometimes better to use your ISP's DNS servers 
than to use some of the more public DNS servers because of the fewer 
hops. 4.2.2.1, while it is now verizon, is very well known as may be 
one of the busier servers.
