    I get DNS lookup failures quite a bit when visiting here. Anyone else seeing this?

    A whois mnsubaru.com returned Portugal? Perhaps my default DNS servers have been poisoned?

    There. Or here. Sometimes both.
    ipconfig /flushdns

    Try setting static DNS servers not owned by your ISP.

    I recommend OpenDNS.

    Servers operated by educational institutions are also a good choice.

    I'm using both the DNS which is hosted on the system I've got my website on (which I installed & configured) and Comcast's DNS.

    The issue occurs on the mac, windows and linux. If anyone has a .edu server suggestion, PM it my way. Most don't allow IPs from outside of their domain to access the info.
