DNS: Field Application

Field Scenario

A customer can access some websites but not others, and general internet connectivity otherwise seems to work fine.

What You Actually Do

  • Consider DNS-specific issues as a genuine possibility given this particular symptom pattern
  • Use this catalog’s DNS lookup tool to investigate whether the affected domains resolve correctly
  • Recommend clearing DNS cache or trying an alternate DNS server as a practical troubleshooting step
  • Explain to the customer why this differs from a general connectivity failure
