please stop the conspiracy theories.  Vicki Brown told me about a problem
and i fixed it.  perlmongers.com was not supposed to be in our nameserver,
and it wasn't, although a secondary nameserver thought it was. by default,
any domain that resolves to one of our (SRI) machines but is not a virtual
host failsover to a SRI dummy page (otherwise, Apache takes the
DocumentRoot of the last defined vritual host). you'll get the same thing
if you connect without specifying a host or a host which we do not serve. 

i was told about the problem and i fixed it in a timely manner. please let
this drop.
