XMPP MIA?

I've been trying to hit-up xmpp.org for two days now and nothing, nada, zilch from their authoritative DNS server. My dig for the www looks like so:


--> dig www.xmpp.org

I like XMPP, I do. But if *they* can't get their DNS right, I'm scared (XMPP depends heavily on DNS working properly).

Funny, I was going to IM him and ask. Someone must have pointed it out.

A representative from our DNS provider IM'd me over XMPP, so yes someone pointed it out to me. :) And no, I was not any happier about this than you. Maybe post a comment when it's working for you again...
