Dude reports DNS errors? Seems Mikrotik domain itself has is

Perhaps interesting for other Dude users:

Since about 12 hours The Dude was telling me that my DNS servers where randomly failing. This was strange, because they seemed to work just fine in practice. I checked again, dug a little deeper and found out that the DNS probe works (by default) by making a DNS request on the mikrotik.com domain. In turns out that Mikrotik is having a problem with there DNS server… At least I get very bad response when requesting that domain from a multitude of DNS servers in The Netherlands.

Mirkotik: are you experiencing some problems with the DNS server that hosts mikrotik.com?

I now changed the DNS probe to query for google.com and it cleared all the false DNS error reports The Dude was sending me.

Actually I’ve been noticing that myself. I’ll make the same change and see if that fixes things.
