[Eug-lug] dns (?) problems

[Ben Barrett]

I was getting between 30%-50% packet loss (icmp pings though, which are
often dropped) from comcast in Beaverton the other night,
between 1am and 4am, and used "mtr" to keep an eye on things...
craptastic.  Generally they get my packets around speedily though...
