DNS Problems?

[oracle]

Is anyone else having problems with the DNS address of radioreference? I am having to use the IP address to get to the site.

I couldn't get the site all day until about 1/2 hour ago.

No problems here. Try clearing your cache and see what happens. It could also be on your ISP's end and make take a day or two to work its self out. I had the same problem about a month ago with another site.

Well, three different computers on two different ISP's. I tried both IE and Firefox and still cannot reach except via the IP address. Maybe it will pass.

It is not your computer or local cache. It would be your ISP or an intermediate DNS cache that is wrong. Remember a few months ago we changed servers and all DNS caches had to update to the new server. It is possible that some intermediate DNS server had to be restored to old data and you are getting directed to our old server. Give it another 24 hours or so to clear up.

Seems like other people are having this same problem too from some emails I got. Like Lou and I said, give it a few days to work out.

I wasn't able to get to the site until a few minutes ago...

I'm sure most of you know this already, but make a note of the IP address, that is the numeric code which identifies the actual location of the site and use it when the www.radioreference.com address fails. Enter the IP 72.3.135.37 just like the words and press go/enter. This will bypass any DNS servers and take you straight to the site. Of course, that assumes nothing changes the IP address.
