| | Hello. It has been three days since I cannot access sourceforge.net, using | many different Chinese dns server:
| | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>host sf.net
| Host not found, try again.
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>host sourceforge.net
| Host not found, try again.
| | It behave like the last year's Google being blocked in China. But I don't | know sourceforge has anything to do with political stuff. | | Can anyone tell me sourceforge's ip address? Or better tell me a | world-accessible dns server, that I can help myself with such things.
| | If it is truly blocked, then it is no use to have IP address. But I'll have | a try.
| | Thank you.
As you are using FreeBSD, why not have your own caching name server? Method:
1. set your hostname hostname="test.tld" in your /etc/rc.conf 2. cd /etc/namedb 3. sh make-localhost 4. start named. add following line in /etc/rc.conf named_enable="YES"
to test
dig -x 127.0.0.1
That does not solve my problem. Perhaps I'm not clear. The situation is my ISP's dns server cannot return IP address for *.sourceforge.net, *.slashdot.org. Other local ISP's dns server cannot return IP address for *.sourceforge.net & *.slashdot.org.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>dig @210.34.0.14 sourceforge.net

I talked about it on local forums and happen to find most Chinese dns servers behave the same. If you heard of the last year's Chinese political event of blocking google access from non-experts, you know what I'm talking about. This time it seems sourceforge and slashdot are blocked. The best solution to me perhaps is to find a free-accessible dns server. I happen to find one on local forums: 69.67.108.10 is working for me.
