actually I sent some messages back a while back informing folks that that
server was going down.  I'm supposing that this never did anything to affect
the DNS rotation, though.  *sigh*

unfortunately I have no control of the DNS but I also no longer occupy the same
space where that server once sat, and it will be at least a few weeks before
this machine goes back up

sorry for the inconvenience
