Dear devs and @q220

Since a few days (less than a week i think) I'm very often having problems to connect to servers, forums and dynmap. This has never occurred before. The issues are irregularily appearing; it's even possible that Build server is accessible while Freebuild is not; mostly its resolved automatically after a short time (its nevertheless annoying).

Internet connection is fine; all other websites are accessible as usual.

Was anything mcmiddleearth-side changed and/or is anyone getting the same issue?

Looks like your isp domain name servers are very rubbish in resolving hostnames, can be because they are working on some of their services. I advise switching to Google Public DNS https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/

It should properly resolve the hostname again then, otherwise there might be a program that prevents you from sending a resolve request.
 
Another solution is to get the IPs for the servers and connect to them. 'ping <server name>' will give you the ip on both unix and windows. Best of luck. (Google will be much easier though)
