I'm seeing very long DNS Lookup times in firebug on my site. I checked linode.com and am seeing the same thing.

I don't really trust the net panel in firebug but it's the only info I've got to go on at the moment.



Is there a DNS issue right now? Anyone else able to reproduce this? And can anyone recommend diagnosis steps from my end.

Thanks!

The whole request for linode.com takes 230ms for me. Try changing your dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google dns) and see if that resolves your problem, if it does it's a problem with your isps dns.

Yep, that was it. Guess the DNS servers I was using were having issues. I didn't even think to try that.

I feel Google already knows enough about me so I ran namebench and am using some new quick DNS servers.

Thank you!
