Globe Broadband: No Alternate DNS

Filed under: Documents, News

Just from plain curiosity I tried to ping Globe Broadband’s alternate DNS and to my surprise it gave me a ping timeout response which means the server is down or out of service.

Then I did an IP lookup. Again to my surprise, the IP belongs to or coming from:

General Information

Hostname: 202.126.35.181
ISP: AyalaPort Makati, Inc.
Organization: AyalaPort Makati, Inc.
Proxy: None detected
Type: Cable/DSL

I Googled some info about the organization and found this interesting article: LINK

What could go wrong when they are backed by one of Japan’s high-tech IT company?

Anyways, Globe’s alternate DNS is down or not functioning as of this moment. Thank you Globe. :(
