  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) I was under the (incorrect?) assumption that the lugnet server performed the lookup for the new domain as part of the jump.cgi process. If it is, in fact, your machine doing the lookup, then no, Lugnet traces wouldn't be needed, natch. eric (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) Here's something else I noticed: Bricksmiths.com doesn't reverse resolve. I fed the Looking Glass the IP address for both sites, and it automagickally knew that 209.68.63.236 was lugnet.com, but it didn't know that 63.217.235.34 was (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) why do you need traces from lugnet to wherever? the jump.cgi doesn't get the data for you, it just redirects you to your desination... so the connection speed between lugnet and your target is immaterial. btw, if you want to try another host, (...)

  DNS Problems
 
Are we having DNS problems today? About half the URLs I go to look at are not resolving. (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
