Thanks to the person from vodafone for contacting me and having a look. They seem to be okay but I have definitely seen a jump in the number of hits from NZ-timezone people on my US servers in the last couple of days. The following are the top few IPs I'm seeing hitting me at yesterday. Cutoff was 1000/hosts per hour so shouldn't be too many home users. IP Site ISP 203.163.71.88 kipt.co.nz AT & T 203.163.71.197 ? AT & T 119.224.137.241 ? Callplus 119.224.137.105 ?

Vodafone A easy way to check is to get the end-user to go to: http://myresolver.info/ Which will give the IP address their DNS requests are originating from. If that doesn't appear to be from NZ then they may be seeing problems. Here is a free lookup tool for IP->Location http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_demo_ip The most likely causes are: (a) Site is using GoogleDNS or OpenDNS (b) Their resolver is on a [new] IP range that isn't associated with NZ If (a) then tell them to stop and if (b) then you owner needs to get the usual IP->Location databases updated. I'm happy to do a manual entry for my site though while you wait for this to go though. On Tue, 10 Jan 2012, Simon Lyall wrote:
It looks like around 8:20 this morning vodafone customers started hitting my US rather than my NZ Web servers. I use GSLB to balance things so since that time vodafone's DNS queries have appeared to be from "outside NZ".
This is probably due to Telstra problems this morning.
I've done a little remote testing but it's all a little hard to confirm, so if somebody at vodafone could either backout the change or pop me an email to discuss it would probably speed up their customer access (at least to my site, perhaps others).
I've done some testing against 203.109.129.67 & 68 and they seem to have fixed themselves around 13:30 but I suspect thats not the whole story.
