We installed Drupal 6 as a subdomain content.example.com on a separate IP address and IIS. The new DNS record went live more than 10 days ago but its name resolution has been unstable. Sometimes it's accessible sometimes it's not. We first suspect probably the new name has not been picked up by some remote DNS but now we're getting worried something's wrong. Since the site can always be accessed by its IP address I have told my boss and our system admin this has nothing to do with Drupal and is more likely a DNS issue. We specified the base_url in settings.php but that didn't help (it's really not a multisite scenario as our www.example.com is a non-drupal IIS site on another machine). Anyone experienced similiar issue? Thanks a lot!

If it works via IP then it is probably a DNS problem. Try http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheckdomainf.aspx it is a nice tool

Thanks for your reply, runssl. That's what I thought. I will give the tool a try.
Thanks again.
