It does seem to be unrelated to Google DNS at this point. We noticed, as Chris Monk stated, large amounts of packet loss on our Centurylink connection out of Nashville TN. Temporarily disabling the connection and diverting traffic out of our other uplinks has resolved the issues we were having until Centurylink connection can be brought back up.

I feel like I need to say something and I may be out of place, but please don't use this list as part of your initial troubleshooting. If nobody has reported it already with something as widely used as Google DNS, double check your assumptions, take the extra 5 minutes before alarming thousands of people that something may be wrong with a service the entire internet uses. My 2 cents, I have no authority here but I usually take emails from this list seriously and I'd like to keep it that way.

When you say "reports of issues", can you be any more specific? Unable to ping the address? Not getting any answers? Getting answers without the AD bit? Getting slow answers? Getting wrong answers? Only answering over TCP/UDP/<something>? Only getting answers to some types of queries? Some set of names not resolving (if so, which?)? Older names in cache? A name was changed and it doesn't seem to be picked up yet? "issues" is a very broad term... W

And, more importantly, 'Google DNS' -- specifically Google customer resolver DNS, the stuff they provide at 8.8.8.8 -- is generally IP anycast, so depending on your geographic and network location, you are hitting different servers when you go to that IP.

For those that don't know this, if you want to know which cluster you're hitting, you can run: $ dig o-o.myaddr.l.google.com -t txt +short @8.8.8.8 "172.253.192.142" "edns0-client-subnet x.x.x.0/24" That will return the ipv4/ipv6 address of the server that handled your request. To get a list of what subnets map to which locations (airport codes), you can run: $ dig -t TXT +short locations.publicdns.goog. @8.8.8.8 snip...

IPv4? IPv6? IPv4 seems to work from many places, according to the RIPE Atlas probes.
Location: Kentucky.
The access provider is a more important information.

Indeed. This page has some useful diagnostics, including things like traceroute: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/troubleshooting Kentucky or Texas doesn't really help narrow down what is likely network provider issues. W

I monitor DNS lookup latency to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and I am not seeing anything unusual or failures from here in the UK (AS13037).
