It seems to be non-reachable indeed. As far as I can see is not a DNS
issue. And most likely whoever needs to know already knows.
If you need to access the website you have 2 easy options:
* clone the www cvs source repository and serve it locally (via local
httpd or just a simple `python3 -m http.server`). Best option in my
opinion.
* use a mirror. Recently solene@ built one for circumstances like this:
https://perso.pw/www.openbsd.org/
And here's another one managed by clematis:
https://openbsd.clemat.is/
Keep in mind that those mirrors are not official and may be out of sync.
