Hi!
We have a wierd DNS-problem with our server.

Some domains can not be fetched nor pinged from the server. The host is not found. SSH ping says "host unknown", php sier says:

Warning: main(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/danfri/domains/filmverden.com/public_html/fetch.php on line 9

Warning: main(http://filmverden.com): failed to open stream: Success in /home/danfri/domains/filmverd

There seems to be no connection with which of the adresses that fails or works.

Even our own hosted domains gives the same error.

We can not find anything suspicious in the logs. The zone-files are unchanged since the 6th, and the problems started late last night CET.

All hosts are accessible elsewhere, and they should work.


Thanks in advance for any advice,

Jensemann

Can you use your built-in resolver to find the IP#s for these hosts?
Code:
# nslookup host.example.com
If that doesn't work, then you've got a resolution problem on your system.
