Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to lugnet.com (209.68.63.236)

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 bricksmiths.com.  Not for
nothing, but that indicates somewhat less than complete DNS hosting.  I don't
think reverse resolution in and of itself is going to cause jump.cgi to take
longer to resolve a domain, but who knows what else isn't done that could speed
things up.

Ok.  That's enough.  This is getting too much like real work.
