(1,845 posts)49. DNS issue
Interesting! Yes, your URL is fine. It looks like a DNS server is sometimes failing on the name lookup for www.usno.navy.mil. I'm guessing there is/was a ".mil" DNS server being very very slow or just returning no-such-name for it. I had it fail here and also on a virtual linux system that I test with out in the cloud. But kicking DNS a couple of times eventually worked. Ah, and it also (a few times) failed for tycho.usno.navy.mil. A puzzle!
Btw, thanks for the link, pretty cool site (when DNS lets me into it)
