Is it reasonable to fail if you can't access a specific DNS server? This is unexpected behavior.

And I don't have access to the /etc/resolv.conf on my Chromecast, that's the problem! Anyway, there's a new thread on this specific phenomenon. I'm glad I'm not the only one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19170671

If it's a hot-fix for ISP troubles then I can imagine it being overlooked. Nobody working at Google would ever fail to connect to 8.8.8.8 while developing it.
