I use FC11 and just observed problems with name server resolution to, say, de.wikipedia.org (many other wikipedia addresses too). Tried 2 different (german) locations using 2 different (german) name servers: [bergmann@T60 ~]$ host -a de.wikipedia.org Trying "de.wikipedia.org" ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 33227 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;de.wikipedia.org.

But others still unreachable (e.g http://en.wikipedia.org). What is wrong? Is there an issue with Fedora 11, with the german name servers or with wikipedia?
