TA IRC: Can't resolve IP address

[cirrus1]

The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://tairc.2y.net/

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for tairc.2y.net
The dnsserver returned:

Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:

The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.

Your cache administrator is root.

Basically the 2y.net DNS-servers seem to be down, and therefore I need the IP address....

It seems there are a lot of these problems lately.

The TA Support Website can't be reached by quite a few TA-members.
Am wondering how the situation is right now.

As said in another thread, there are several websites I can get to at one moment and 15 mins later they are not resolvable.

I don't know what is going on, but maybe there are some problems with the master DNS servers.
Or the IPv6 protocol is interfering more with the old standard than someone expected.

Have you tried irc.teamanandtech.com?

I was about the say the same thing ViRGE. I use irc.teamanandtech.com all the time and I don't seem to have a problem.

I tried connecting from school today, and there were no problem at all with resolving the *.2y.net adresses...guess it was my school's DNS that had been distracted...

I am now keeping the hardcoded IP close to the body in case anything else goes wrong
