[WLANware] Default DNS problems in recent Freifunk

[berry groenendijk]

Same problem here in The Netherlands! We have a Freifunk network running
with some 30 nodes. Most of the nodes run V1.2.5 and a few nodes are v1.6.19.
All version 1.2.5 nodes suddenly did not work anymore. No name resolving.
Some had a static DNS entry. And that DNS entry was suddenly not valid
anymore. Have all ISPs suddenly switched off DNS servers? But, also
v1.2.5nodes with dynamic DNS server settings stopped working.

Only v1.6.19 nodes work perfectly.

I had to set a new static DNS entry in all v1.2.5 nodes for them to get name
resolving working again.

If there is a solution to get v1.2.5 routers working with dynamic DNS
entries that would be great!

Still, I wonder what happened 2 days ago...
