Sorry Keyser, I'm not sure what you are saying is here, do you mean you think NTL's dns
did fail or
didn't fail ?
The link loss would certainly have had a detremental effect on them as lots of lookups would start to build up and eventually time out due to not being able to contact name servers across 'the pond'. This would also massivly increase the traffic on them as after each timeout the servers would try again [several times].
