We've discovered over the weekend that soylentnews.org was failing to resolve with some DNSSEC enabled resolvers. After debugging and manually checking our setup, the problem appears to be occurring due to an issue with the Linode DNS servers when accessed over IPv6. As such, some users may experience slow waiting times due to these DNS issues. I have filed a ticket with Linode about this, and will keep you guys up to date.

The answers you're getting are wrong. Well, I guess they're answering your question, but your question is wrong.
The question isn't how you are connecting to the site; the question is how the DNS resolver you're using connects to the Linode DNS servers. And it's not so easy to ascertain that.
