Saw nik mentioned problem with reaching Stephan's site yesterday -- this
might have been the reason? This from our webmaster at art.net (where the
DTZ pages are).

>Hi all,

>Something strange happened early this morning. The Domain Name
>Root Servers were corrupted and because of this, the domains in
>.com , .org , .net , etc were non-existing. This means that
>domains such as aol.com and art.net were unknown to other hosts
>on the Internet. The problems started around 11:30pm
>last night and cleared up at around 10am this morning (PST).
>
>The problem was caused by the Internic uploading corrupted DNS files
>to the root servers.
>
>Everything now seems back to normal though.
>
>Many of your reports didn't make it though so I resent them just a few
>moments ago.
>
>If we ever have another DNS outage, you can always reach art.net
>by it's IP address which is:
>
> 192.92.112.50
>
>So to reach our webserver, you would type:
>
> http://192.92.112.50/
>
>or via ftp :

> ftp 192.92.112.50

>Let us know if you have any questions.
