could it be that your computer has a cached NX in it's DNS from a
transient problem?

I think my computer was deeply confused yesterday. . .
Entering 206.131.246.52 in Galeon gave "library.brickshelf.com could not
be found. Please check the name and try again.", which has to qualify as
one of the most bizarre error messages I've ever seen.
Netscape was even better: I get the same error on the same input, but I
also got the actual page (which consists of a link to
http://206.131.246.52/scans/) after which everything worked fine.
And Mozilla worked fine with the IP but choked on the domain name.

Now everything seems to work normally. . .
