Depends which DNS servers are queried, how, and from where.  Host lookups 
failing mostly.

Lookup by hostname fleegle.mixmin.net

nslookup fleegle.mixmin.net 208.67.222.222
Server:  dns.sse.cisco.com
Address:  208.67.222.222

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to dns.sse.cisco.com timed-out


Reverse lookup using the ipv4 address.

nslookup 144.76.182.167 208.67.222.222
Server:  dns.sse.cisco.com
Address:  208.67.222.222

Name:    fleegle.mixmin.net
Address:  144.76.182.167

nslookup 144.76.182.167 8.8.8.8
Server:  dns.google
Address:  8.8.8.8

Name:    fleegle.mixmin.net
Address:  144.76.182.167

IPV6

nslookup 2a01:4f8:200:60a6::2 8.8.8.8
Server:  dns.google
Address:  8.8.8.8

Name:    fleegle.mixmin.net
Address:  2a01:4f8:200:60a6::2

whois

canonical name	fleegle.mixmin.net.
aliases	
addresses	144.76.182.167

His DNS servers are all up and responding - but one was missing from the 
usual lot earlier.

whois mixmin.net

Definitely some DNS changes occurring.

These are the DNS servers from an earlier query.

Name Server: NS3.CYPHERPUNKS.EU
Name Server: NS4.MUSTELID.NET
Name Server: BINGO.MIXMIN.NET
Name Server: FLEEGLE.MIXMIN.NET

Checking today.

Name Server: ATOMANT.MIXMIN.NET <-
Name Server: BINGO.MIXMIN.NET
Name Server: FLEEGLE.MIXMIN.NET
Name Server: NS3.CYPHERPUNKS.EU
Name Server: NS4.MUSTELID.NET

10 minutes later - all gone.

DNS query for snorky.mixmin.net returned an error from the server: 
ServerFailure

DNS query for mixmin.net returned an error from the server: ServerFailure

No records to display

I run my own DNS servers using various forwarders.  No problems here for 
mixmin name resolution - yet.

FWIW, his web and mail servers are still up and running.  
A couple of other things I know he's involved with are up and running, no 
need to mention them here.

Defintely some changes going on.
