I take it, then, you are assuming that either the name servers were not
responding or that there was some other type of network problem. I did
trace routes from Mae East, Mae West and did a Visual Trace Route (Dulles,
VA) which were < 100ms. The router was passing packets fine and there was
no hint of a DoS attack or anything else out of the ordinary. Otherwise, I
agree that we need to have at least one name server which is external to
our network.

Good thought. Although, most of our associates do use external name
service, which is how we found out there was a problem.
