Greetings,
Periodically, we loose the capability of translating .ed.gov names.
Today, it seems that it is www.dl.ed.gov and www.fafsa.ed.gov that
will not translate.
If I use dig .... I get:
porthos2:~ pcharbon2$ dig +trace www.fafsa.ed.gov
; <<>> DiG 9.4.3-P1 <<>> +trace www.fafsa.ed.gov

It always seems to fail after the "third" lookup sequence.
After about an hour (or two or eight) it starts working again for some
period of time.
I am out of troubleshooting tools and don't know where to go from
here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
