I just did a name server lookup on 'hlauth.net' using ZoneEdit.com and found this... Host Type Value hlauth.net NS ns2.valvesoftware.com hlauth.net NS ns1.valvesoftware.com hlauth.net NS ns2.valvesoftware.com hlauth.net NS ns1.valvesoftware.com ns2.valvesoftware.com A 207.173.176.131 ns1.valvesoftware.com A 207.173.176.130 ...so there are name servers out there that resolve this name. They just might not be propagated to your ISP DNS resolve servers yet.
