Craigslist outage

Sat Jan 28 18:50:02 UTC 2012

Much documented here:
http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/DNS-issues-in-SoCal/td-p/393781

The thread is titled "DNS", but just ignore and read through.  I don't
understand how Verizon FiOS hasn't resolved this after two weeks.

Confirmed that it's Verizon FIOS. I remote logged into a system at work and
had no trouble.

I'm dealing with tech support person that says "nobody blocks websites or
changes routing tables."  Big sigh.

Tech trying to get a supervisor and just came back with "he has another
customer with the same problem."

Taking a deep breath.

Thanks all for your help!

Kind of supports my suspicion that a caching center (like Akamai) has gone
down.

What does nslookup return for you? I get

losangeles.craigslist.org

208.82.238.129

DOS tracert finds that IP in 9 hops (20ms, 19ms, 19ms).

Possible routing problems for http traffic with Verizon FIOS?
