Hai, *

Now, the link works!. It's kind of starnage as I tested a few times,
yesterday. I didn't check the DNS directly, I forgot (it's a shame, i
know) 

But, it kind of strange as I didn't directly accessed the URL but did
it via a proxy (my ISP has wants that). The proxy did give the errror!
(but I didn't show that in my email).

Even worse: It wasn't the proxy of mine ISP, but the proxy of the
(dutch) top-level provider that is used by the proxy of my ISP.

Now, I know wy I don't like proxies !

Sorry for the fails allert, I will complain by those proxy maintainers


Bye, Albert
