The Google public DNS resolver at 8.8.8.8 can&#39;t resolve testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org either (SERVFAIL).&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;On Friday, 16 May 2014, at 6:34 pm, Andreas Schildbach wrote:&#xA;&gt; Apparently British Telecom also cannot speak to Peter Todd&#39;s server.&#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; That another very large ISP in Europe.&#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; On 05/15/2014 01:50 PM, Andreas Schildbach wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt; I&#39;m bringing this issue up again. The current Bitcoin DNS seed&#xA;&gt; &gt; infrastructure is unstable. I assume this is because of we&#39;re using a&#xA;&gt; &gt; custom DNS implementation which is not 100% compatible. There have been&#xA;&gt; &gt; bugs in the past, like a case sensitive match for the domain name.&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; Current state (seeds taken from bitcoinj):&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; mainnet:&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; seed.bitcoin.sipa.be&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;OK&#xA;&gt; &gt; dnsseed.bluematt.me&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;OK&#xA;&gt; &gt; dnsseed.bitcoin.dashjr.org&#x9;&#x9;SERVFAIL, tried multiple ISPs&#xA;&gt; &gt; seed.bitcoinstats.com&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;OK&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; testnet:&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org&#x9;SERVFAIL, just from Telefonica&#xA;&gt; &gt; testnet-seed.bluematt.me&#x9;&#x9;OK (but only returns one node)&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; Note: Telefonica is one of Europe&#39;s largest ISPs.&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; I would try to improve DNS myself, but I&#39;m not capable of writing C. My&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#34;fix&#34; would be to reimplement everything in Java -- I doubt you guys&#xA;&gt; &gt; would be happy with that.&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; &#xA;&gt; &gt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&gt; &gt; &#34;Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE&#xA;&gt; &gt; Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.&#xA;&gt; &gt; Get unparalleled scalability from the best Selenium testing platform available&#xA;&gt; &gt; Simple to use.
