Hi Gary,
Dirk Terrell sold Falcon (os2ss.com, which hosts several other sites
including Warpcast plus a number of mailing lists including POSSI's) to
Thomas Bradford (BMT) a little over a year ago. (Dirk then moved from
Florida to Colorado. Thomas moved Falcon from Florida to North
Carolina.)
The current problem is some sort of DNS screwup. Apparently neither the
Earthlink nor attglobal.net DNS servers have an entry for os2ss.com at
this time, but Steven Levine (who is on Earthlink) used somebody else's
(BMT's) DNS server and was able to get to os2ss.com. (In general, DNS
servers don't authenticate their users by asking for names/passwords, so
anybody can use anybody else's DNS.)
From Steven's NSLOOKUP command, the www.os2ss.com IP address is
206.25.203.8. Thus, the following _should_ work (it works here) since
it bypasses the DNS servers:
Note that the Warpcast home page is at www.warpcast.com but the actual
news items are at www.os2ss.com/warpcast/.
BMT has all of 206.25.203.*. If you list the domain names for those 256
IP addresses you get some verrrrry interesting stuff.
