Genesreunited issues

Hi,

Since yesterday evening i have been unable to get to Genesreunited.co.uk when i try a traceroute it says unable to resolve name. I can however get to it via a proxy.

Is there currently an issue with VirginMedia DNS servers?

Try using openDNS nameservers:

208.67.220.220
208.67.222.222

Much better than VM's, genesreunited resolves OK for me (with tcptraceroute) using them:

Code:
