I tried /http://freshrpms.net a few days ago (and again just now 14:00
DST US east coast) and had no problems. As I stated before I had the
same problem during heavy traffic [I.E. a secondary server] with another
site who had a poisoned route (Bad DNS information) . If this is the
case, you need to determine which server has this issue and rattle the
cage of their I.T. staff to fix the problem.
No it isn't easy or fun.
