This suggests to me that the NTL proxies are going the DNS lookup (and failing) therefore changing DNS locally will have no effect.
Am I missing something obvious here ? |
You are absolutely correct. [edit - well i've noticed the same issues - but i don't understand why the proxy would do a lookup] [edit - maybe it's just that the proxy attempts to fetch the page via the broken pipe, while setting another proxy skirts round the problem ]
