Whoever is seeing the DNS issues, can you post what your DNS is, any any lookups and results for our endpoints?  We haven't changed anything in terms of DNS in weeks, and its very disconcerting that multiple people are seeing this.

Name:   uswest.wafflepool.com
Address: 192.241.211.125
Name:   useast.wafflepool.com
Address: 162.243.89.19
Name:   eu.wafflepool.com
Address: 95.85.61.208

all VIA ISP DNS (I'd rather not say who)

The next time the problem occurs I'll give you a network capture of it!

Please do, I've got an email from another person seeing the same thing (disconnect after a while and on reconnect, getting a different pool entirely).  Which is very disconcerting....

pw, I sent you a pm containing some information that I decided not to leave posted publicly, as whoever is responsible for this is likely reading this thread.

since it is obvious that some one compiled cgminer or sgminer with a worm within, you probably should publicly post it here. and after that we will find the trojan link. omg do you think it is deeper... in wifi router's dns settings ?


I do not believe that to be the case.  But if it were a dns hack, cgminer or most other miner software would still continue to display x.wafflepool.com as the pool server name, and it would simply resolve to another ip address underneath.  If cgminer or other miner software shows the unexpected ip address as the server name, then something else must be the cause.  I suggested one possibility to pw, but he considered it to be unlikely.  We'll see.
