Anyone of you encountered this problem in google webmaster tools? The site is working fine I check it using the Fetch Website and it's working.

But it keep showing the DNS problem and also noticed that since then my site traffic from google search is slowly dropping.

Is there a way to correct this problem?

    If there was a real problem, your traffic from google would be zero.

    Could be intermittent.

    Could be google is now trying to find subdomains and other such
    stuff. Did your host change? Did your host change anything?

    A drop in traffic may be tied to people giving up, as the time it
    takes to load your site due to slow speed of the connection
    between everything and the end user. And that, is probably
    the real "problem." Could be servers being down in various places.

    if you don't know how, google how to ping from various locations or
    do a traceroute. If you see loss of packets, that's probably it.

    GWT is flaky, every once in a while they'll accept an xml file that's working fine, they verified the file, I verified the file outside of GWT (it loads in the Incognito browser). Later on when I find the random GWT xml error I'll resubmit the exact same xml URL never leaving GWT & GWT will say it's all good when I didn't change a single thing.

    GWT blows, bottom line. They're also very slow about updating their SERP data inside GWT.

    In other words, don't get bent out of shape over anything you find in GWT.
