Still nothing when checking from home.

I'm wondering about network topology -- it is dead when
viewed from my server (138.73.29.51).

Could there be some bad cacheing on the server?  I'm guessing that
"wwdyn" indicates some load balancing?

There seems to be some strange configuration going on; if the
IP is substituted:
 	http://69.147.83.38/pipermail/freebsd-questions/
a "document not found" error results referring to a machine
called "realcgi.sky.freebsd.org".
