Unfortunately, it's also sick at the moment and we're trying to bring it back right now. Things happen, and if we swapped the DNS around every time a machine had an attack of the wobblies then David would quickly abdicate as freebsd.org hostmaster. We just didn't expect the resurrection of admin1 to take this long, OK? Hold your water, Rich! :) Jordan
