possible dns issue

just read this at dslreports

internet users face the risk of losing their internet connections on 5 May when the domain name system switches over to a new, more secure protocol.

While the vast majority of users are expected to endure the transition to DNSSEC smoothly, users behind badly designed or poorly configured firewalls, or those subscribing to dodgy ISPs could find themselves effectively disconnected...."

tested 156.154.70.1 and 156.154.71.1 (both used by voipo in phone adapter) and the site is not ready for May 5 change. Public dns servers that I use (4.2.2.2., 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4) all show ready.

Does this mean the service will be affected if the site does not get ready by then?

Those IP addresses you show are those your ISP provides - the adapter is just using DHCP. I use OpenDNS and it "fails" the test too, but the OpenDNS people say that things will still work after the 5th.

Those IP addresses are those coded in the ATA device by VOIPo. I have my VOIPo device (PAP2T) behind a WRT54GL (running Tomato). Comcast provides the WRT54GL DNS servers of 68.87.71.230 and 68.87.73.246. The PAP2T shows 156.154.70.1 for Primary, and Secondary shows 156.154.71.1 192.168.0.1 (no idea why it shows two, but the 2nd is the IP of my WRT54GL).

Sounds like Y2K all over again (and you know how that was a big bust except lots of people made LOTS of money off everyones fear).

Actually, it was a lot of hard work by a lot of people that made Y2K seem to be "a bust". My wife was one of these and I know what she put in to it. The average Joe (and news pundits) had no clue.
