| Hello. It has been three days since I cannot access sourceforge.net, using
| many different Chinese dns server:
|
| zhangweiwu@thinkpad:~>host sf.net
| Host not found, try again.
| zhangweiwu@thinkpad:~>host sourceforge.net
| Host not found, try again.
|
| It behave like the last year's Google being blocked in China. But I don't
| know sourceforge has anything to do with political stuff.
|
| Can anyone tell me sourceforge's ip address? Or better tell me a
| world-accessible dns server, that I can help myself with such things.
|
| If it is truly blocked, then it is no use to have IP address. But I'll have
| a try.
|
| Thank you.
As you are using FreeBSD, why not have your own caching name server?
Method:
1. set your hostname
hostname="test.tld"
in your /etc/rc.conf
2. cd /etc/namedb
3. sh make-localhost
4. start named.
add following line in /etc/rc.conf
named_enable="YES"
to test
dig -x 127.0.0.1
