Intermittent DNS Domain Issues

[Terrence Koeman]

Just that the IP addresses differ almost nothing and that the paths are
identical doesn't say that there is no adequate failover.

My DNS servers are 213.19.140.10 and 213.19.140.11 and both have the same
path, but if there is some problem in that path there are 3 backup paths
available (from the backbone to the servers). So unless the entire
Level(3) backbone goes down my nameservers will be reachable.
