Hello,
At about Jun 14 17:00 UTC, our DNS server (which uses 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 as forwarders) started responding erratically. I traced it down to google DNS servers responding too slow, then not responding at all.
Checked downdetector, and it seems to be for Brazil only:
Here are some test results:
yankee:/etc/bind# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=14.7 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=15.4 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=58 time=14.8 ms ^C

yankee:/etc/bind# ping 8.8.4.4
PING 8.8.4.4 (8.8.4.4) 56(84) bytes of data.

Traceroute gets there:

But using a google DNS:
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Using a Level3 DNS:
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

Or our server (now using root servers):
