[lug] DNS issues with most recent Ubuntu updates?

[Bear Giles]

Has anyone else noticed DNS issues with the most recent Ubuntu updates? At
first I blamed it on a faulty router (and still do - this would not affect
my ability to establish a wifi connection or ping a wired port) or on
Comcastic!! service but I'm seeing it on my work network as well.

Behavior:

1. Everything works fine for, oh, 10-20 minutes.
2. Chromium starts to get "cannot resolve x.y.z address" errors.
3. It looks like 'curl' also times out.
4. Slack reports the network is down. Ditto the Chromium email alert.

However if I run 'dig' it quickly comes back with the correct address. The
really weird thing is that if I copy the IP address into the chromium
address bar then I still have a very long wait. I don't think I've actually
waited long enough to see if I get a "cannot resolve address" error.

If I click on the wifi icon the wifi connection is restablished and
everything works for 10 minutes.

This is zesty and I did an apt-get update/upgrade a few hours ago.

Thanks
