FYI:

I see discussion on DSLReports that Earthlink is deploying a

Doesn't surprise me that Earthlink has been bought off yet again to break dns for their users. If you remember it happened before when they were bought off by New.net and was (still is?) largest ISP not using ICANN-maintained dns root.
