Well it's kinda hard to tell from the original post but I interpreted it as he can get to a site if he enters the IP, but not if he enters the domain name. It seems he's confusing "DNS" with "IP."
But assuming he is getting to SOME sites with the domain name then one of two things could be happening: 1) The DNS server's tables are partially corrupted, and whatever site he can't get to happens to be in the corrupted part or 2) the sites he CAN get to are already in his route tables, and therefore already had the DNS translate them to IP, so his system isn't querying the DNS server. The sites he CAN'T get to are not in his route tables, and the system gets no answer when querying the DNS server.
Happened to me. Switching to the DNS servers i posted fixed things. They're SBC, a tad slow, but they're very reliable.
