[outages] Mediacom DNS server issue?

[Frank Bulk]

Our backed up emails are clearing and both of Mediacom's DNS servers resolve
and all their websites load.  I'm going to assume that they've resolved the
issue.

For me, neither ns[12].mcomdc.com responds to ICMP or DNS queries.

I'm now seeing email for mediacombb.net backing up, too, as they use the
same DNS servers.

According to robtex (http://host.robtex.com/ns2.mcomdc.com.html#shared),
some other domains affected are gronkulator.com and inland.net.

Seems like NS2 is down.

root at hellhound:~# dig +short MX mchsi.com @ns1.mcomdc.com
10 smtp.mchsi.com.

root at hellhound:~# dig +short MX mchsi.com @ns2.mcomdc.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Additionally, NS1 is responding to ICMP pings while NS2 isn't.
