www.ird.govt.nz doesn't seem to be resolving on Spark/Bigpie connections ( don't have clients on Skinny, so can't check that)

 

Have checked on Vodafone and MyR connections - all OK so far

 

 

 

Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: 8.8.8.8 is not resolving it either - possibly an issue on IRD's end with the DNS record

Doesn’t resolve on Skinny mobile either, but does work on 2degrees fixed internet.

Pretty sure I saw a story this morning saying Spark customers were having trouble reaching doc.govt.nz. So sounds like Spark and it compatriots might be having DNS issues today..

Yep, can't access doc.govt.nz either

Wierd that google won't resolve it either - lends towards a corrupted DNS record for some govt.nz addresses

On Skinny... just changed my DNS server from Google (8.8.8.8) to Skinny DNS servers.

 

Now I can get thru to IRD.

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.
