Update pingfail.sh #32

Closed ehurrn closed 1 year ago

ehurrn commented 1 year ago

Replacing FQDNs with IP addresses of high availability DNS servers.

Two reasons:

  1. A DNS resolution issue could cause a system reboot unneccessarily. While that is a very remote possibility given the domains used, better safe than sorry.
  2. Faster ping response times. I consistently see faster response times from 1.1.1.1 (CloudFlare DNS) than from akamai.com. 8.8.8.8 is Google DNS and gets similiar response times to google.com.

This is to test DNS as well. If DNS fails you get issues which can also warrant a restart.

Feel free to edit your local script but i see no reason to merge this.
