    Hello there,

    Use the site below to check for DNS errors. Some ISP's will not cache DNS results if there is an error present, which may be why it is only effecting certain users:

    Yeah, thanks for your reply. I am getting two errors. So, there is no problem with airtel network and the problem is with the configuration am I right?

    Hello,

    It is not with the site actually.

    It is the DNS resolves the Airtel network is using.

    Mostly if using Google or OpenDNS settings you will be good to go.
    Can you please try this.
    ---
    edit /etc/resolve.conf

    [root@]# vi /etc/resolv.conf
search localhost
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
options rotate
    Code (markup):
    ---

    Now see if you can change the DNS resolvers on your localmachine and make it to Google (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222)


    Let me know if the one helps.
