I had issues with some sites a while ago. It turned out to be a
poisoned DNS server lookup table.
Oops just tired it --- putting in linux.org failed, but
http://www.linux.org did not!!!
Yes, note the different IPs returned by pinging linux.org and
www.linux.org. A lot of people just don't type the "www" part,
because if you just type the "linux.org" part and it's not found, then
the browser automatically prepends "www." and trys again. Also, many
sites have the "www.abc.xyz" in DNS point to the same server as
"abc.xyz". However, in this case, linux.org returns a valid IP
address, there just isn't a web server there, so nothing happens...
Well, I still can't get to the site, no matter what address I use :-(
