Since last Friday, I am experiencing DNS resolving issues.

 

bnt@ubnt:~$ show dns forwarding nameservers

I am using a BT Openreach Fibre (white) modem connected to the ER-X with PPPoE.

 

It has been fine for 6 months.

 

To debug the problem, I have changed cables, changed the BT modem, flashed the ER-X firmware, reset it both ways (runtime and on power), changed the setup of the ER-X to use PoE, etc. tried MSS clamping and hwoffload tweaks, changed system DNS servers, changed it to not use dnsmasq, but it makes no difference... the resolving both in the ER-X or from a network PC is very very patchy and inconsistent.

 

Can anyone help?
