I've had loads of problems with NTL (cable) over the last week, pretty
much everything was broken at some point. It seems to have sorted itself
out now though I needed to restart my router and Iyonix to get the news
server DNS lookup working; oddly other DNS lookups seemed to be OK.

The problems I had didn't cause any visible error from newshound, though
various DNS and host unreachable errors were in the log.
