As, I have said (off list) if your network prevents you from accessing 
OpenNIC resolvers, then please feel free to use one of several web proxies 
the OpenNIC members provide.

My proxy at http://nano-host.co.uk/proxy/ gives you access to OpenNIC domains.

If it's a country specific problem then let me know which country (Japan I 
think in this case) and I'll check to see why it's blocked.

Alternatively I could move the whole demo site to an I.C.A.N.N. domain, which 
would be somewhat ironic! ;-)
