Hi Frank,
Enthought has changed Internet service providers a couple of times
recently (due to unsatisfactory performance from the one we initially
switched to). It's possible that DNS has not kept up. I'm cc'ing Jeff
Strunk, Enthought's sysadmin, so he sees what you've found.

Hi
I am rather new to the authors group and i am trying to find my way around on
the oooauthors site.
This did not go smoothly, and it still does not.
Many times i have problems which look like if there are DNS problems: site not
found etc. (error messages like : Unknown host oooauthors.org)
Likewise i could not send email to addresses mentioned on the site
(and register) with problems indicating a problems with the name resolution
Now again i cannot find parts of the site
I ran a whois
and i was amazed to see that the DNS server is on a dynamic dns server: is
this meant to be ?
Or is this part of the spam hacks there apparently were before ?
If i check : see below
the enthought has a server and a dns service properly setup ..
But for one or the other reason there is a dynamic dns in between
I do not know the reason why:
But a system administrator who as access to the proper dns servers can check
the real meaning
I Thing just proper setup of the alias in :
Name Server.......... ns2.netaquifer.net
Name Server.......... ns1.scipy.org
Name Server.......... ns0.scipy.org
would solve the not found problems ?
Kind regards
Frank
