Hi,
Hi,
I posted to <res...@sunhelp.org> and saw my message got stuck in
the mail queue.
When did you send your message? I'm trying to judge when the problem
started.
Upon a further inspection I saw that the domain has expired along with
`mrbill.net' where the nameservers used to reside and both have been
taken by someone else, taking the name service down for `sunhelp.org'.
Eh ... sunhelp.org doesn't expire for a couple of years yet. The
problem is that it uses mrbill.net for DNS, which did expire and seems
to have been taken over by undesirables.
I can still reach Bill Bradford's personal page when I connect to
the server by its IPv4 address at: <http://184.94.207.190/>.
Thanks to John's quick thinking, it's now possible to hot wire things so
that you can get to sunhelp.org, et al.
The hot wiring that I did seems to have been sufficient to allow email
to flow to sunhelp.org. I've since sent a message to a few people
inquiring about the current state of the ongoing rescue operation.
The last I knew, some of Bill's co-workers were going to take things over.
If anyone cares to similarly hot wire things on their end, I configured
my recursive DNS servers to forward Bill's domains to John K.'s DNS
server (192.80.49.4). I also configured my email server to route
sunhelp.org directly to ohno.mrbill.net.
