There's a forum I read on a regular basis. A few days ago, I couldn't read it from home...timed out.
Stayed that way for a while. Asked on another forum and people said "works fine for me". Looked at it from a VPS and sure enough, it works fine.
- From my home (CenturyLink DSL) using various PCs, iOS devices - timeout.
- From work (totally different network setup, big company) - timeout.
- down or just me says it's OK.
- wget/lynx from VPS in California - OK.
- iOS device on AT&T 3G - OK
So...what could cause this? When I lookup the DNS it returns the same IP in all places I've tried.
If it was just my home, I'd understand maybe something goofy on my end...but work as well, which is a different network and ~15 miles from me.
