Please note that the names are being resolved because I have a caching name server setup locally. Less said about Lanka Bell DNS the better. Later we are informed that their submarine link has been damaged. Surely they have a backup? Surely they have satellite links? Well right now I think I am being routed via satellites. Yes service was restored a few hours ago (if you could call it that). It took about two minutes for my wordpress editor page to load.PING 67.131.250.72 (67.131.250.72) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 67.131.250.72: icmp_seq=18 ttl=46 time=1210 ms 64 bytes from 67.131.250.72: icmp_seq=19 ttl=46 time=1208 ms 64 bytes from 67.131.250.72: icmp_seq=20 ttl=46 time=1202 ms 64 bytes from 67.131.250.72: icmp_seq=22 ttl=46 time=1230 ms ^C --- 67.131.250.72 ping statistics --- 24 packets transmitted, 4 received, 83% packet loss, time 23138ms
