[Flightgear-devel] Vanishing cvs servers

2003-08-09 Thread Jon Stockill
For some reason both cvs.flightgear.org and cvs.simgear.org are failing to resolve. I've just been exploring with dig, and none of the listed nameservers appear to have an A record for them. Anyone else seeing this? -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED]
