Yes its been so from about 2 weeks. Any site stops responding randomly. Sometimes Yahoo or sometimes Google or sometimes MSN stops. Traceroute shows problems in routing. If you disconnect and reconnect 1-2 times, it picks up new route and site starts working.
Its not just the dns but also the routes and their ppp / adsl equipment. Packets seemed to be looping between two vsnl routers. VSNL is still the monopoly for all internet traffic. The strange part was no ping to several adsl modems but ssh worked. And even better no google etc from my location but ssh to thane and google etc are available. after sometime the status is reversed. Best part: random download speeds of infinity - no i was not stoned - mozilla-firefox (10MB) downloaded in 3 secs. And the tarball is ok.
