Anyone else unable to ping Spark's DNS <122.56.237.1> and <210.55.111.1>?

I only noticed when I changed routers yesterday and DNS stopped working. I can't ping them from 2Degrees mobile either.

Their DNS servers have never been pingable.

Not seeing any issues with their DNS servers though?

nslookup google.com ns1.xtra.co.nz

Server: ns1.xtra.co.nz

Address: 122.56.237.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: google.com

Address: 172.217.24.46
