Hmm much weirdness. I installed host and it gave me: $ host irc.freenode.net irc.freenode.net A 140.211.166.4 irc.freenode.net A 213.28.116.205 irc.freenode.net A 216.55.181.3 irc.freenode.net A 217.172.187.182 irc.freenode.net A 82.96.64.2 irc.freenode.net A 130.239.18.172 irc.freenode.net A 140.211.166.3 and now: $ ping irc.freenode.net PING irc.freenode.net (216.55.181.3): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 216.55.181.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=45 time=216.0 ms 64 bytes from 216.55.181.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=231.6 ms Seems to have been a temporary failure.
