Re: Proxy Server Problems
Possibly been blocked for too many queries:

Why can I sometimes not reach the site?
The www.DNSstuff.com and www.DNSreport.com sites use a proprietary webserver, which allows us to do some pretty amazing stuff, and worked very well in the beginning. However, it now needs to handle millions of hits each month, and often dozens of simultaneous requests. While the web server has a lot of code to help ensure its reliability, there are rare times where a crash can cause the whole site to shut down, requiring someone to restart it. It is very dificult to track these issues. We have identified a problem that may actually be in the core OS code (a function call that never returns, even though it should return immediately), and are working on ways around it.
