Are you sure about the first one?  Isn't it 68.2.16.30 ???

Try nslookup. Various services hang with those dns servers because they
themselves don't resolve. Indeed the @home network dns aren't likely to
be maintained and certainly can be expected to hit /dev/null after
2/28/02 but at this point, using services that require a happy
dns/identd resolution on the new 'cox' nameservers can be a problem.
