Please rectify the problem.
The clc box have some routing issues ? Every now and again I get this message, yet my servers have been going solid and online for weeks. Strange. THere is nothing I can do, it's online! Just logged in and got: $ host crux.shortcircuit.net.au crux.shortcircuit.net.au has address 202.63.43.238 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached $

Of the three nameservers we got from the hoster, two don't resolve it at all, and one gives the above error. Two of the three resolve google.ch just fine; the third fails. Finally, at home I get: $ host ns1.shortcircuit.net.au ns1.shortcircuit.net.au is an alias for virgo.shortcircuit.net.au. virgo.shortcircuit.net.au has address 202.125.46.71 ns1.shortcircuit.net.au is an alias for virgo.shortcircuit.net.au. ns1.shortcircuit.net.au is an alias for virgo.shortcircuit.net.au. which seems to have a bit much redundancy, and the later two seem to be the ones which host can't resolve. Now, I have to admit that I don't have enough experience with DNS to diagnose where the problem lies. I hope someone on this list has an idea. I'll try to find an e-mail for the hoster; so far Per was our contact person, but since I haven't heard from him since mid november, I fear we have to find another way.
