It can't be my DSL router or my ISP blocking a port. I am mining just fine with mtred.com and 50btc.com.
This is only Deepbit I am having a problem with.
Same problem in 3 different farms on 3 different internet connections in 3 different locations.
Cannot resolve pit.deepbit.net. It comes and goes. Sometimes I can resolve it, sometimes not. Sometimes it works for a day, sometimes an hour. I have been mining fine for over a year with the same settings. This all just started happening after the last Deepbit DOS. I have tried different DNS servers. 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 8.8.8.8, etc.
Is pit.deepbit.net changing it's IP address frequently maybe to combat DOS? Is there a better DNS server to use?
Thanks
