All--

My ISP pulled the plug on 66.244.95.20 while I was on holiday
due to complaints from their upstream provider about an open
resolver (mine) being traced as the source of a DDOS attack. It
was a sound decision on the part of my hosting provider, and I
hold no grudges as they have been very supportive of my OpenNIC
activities. I'm afraid this will become the wave of the near
future as more of the "big boys" put pressure on the smaller
ISPs to do the same.

There's not much that can be done at this point. I will
continue hosting the T1 server and ipv6 T2 server on the same
hosting provider. Sorry for the short notice and for the
inconvenience this may have caused some of you.
