Shaw Vancouver DNS doesn't resolve rb.gy

[Creepio]

This is more a notice than a question. It looks like the domain "rb.gy", a popular URL shortening service, does not resolve when using at least one of Shaw's Vancouver DNS servers.

DNS Server is : 64.59.144.93 pd2nsc4.st.vc.shawcable.net

Tested on 2 different residential Shaw connections in Vancouver (different addresses). Swapping to Google or Cloudflare DNS, or using a Telus mobility connection resolves to the correct addresses of 76.223.86.4 or 13.248.219.100.

Thanks,

looks fine, e.g., domain not "on hold", or anything else that is not normal.

Querying each of the 4 authoritative DNS-servers returns the correct information.

So, other than confirming your observations, all I can do is to say that this is a peer-to-peer discussion (and "gripes") forum, not an official path to Shaw Support.  So, I recommend that you contact Shaw Support -- currently, online chat has priority over telephone, and talk to a Shaw Agent.
