I am only getting redirected to the maintenance page intermittently - and for periods of several hours.

This would seem to suggest, not that my ISP is not updating their DNS often enough, but that they are updating it quite often - alternating between correct and incorrect DNS entries for PPRuNe.

It could be that the incorrect entries are propagating from somewhere higher up the DNS hierarchy - or that my ISP keeps reverting to an out-of-date version they have.

Bit of a mystery.

Edited to add the following...

10 minutes ago I got the redirect page using either my ISP's DNS or using OpenDNS. At that time the OpenDNS cache was correctly pointing to 67.201.16.181.

Now it works fine and I'm not getting the redirect whether I use by ISP's DSN or OpenDNS.

Strange
