On sunday I was unable to access my own website. (I'm not posting the URL as it might look like I am spamming). I tried everything I could, I could access all other sites ok, I was even able to access someone else's website that I happen to know is on the same server as mine! Numerous reports to the hosts failed to resolve it as they said they could get in ok.

Then I changed my ntl proxy to a manually specified one, and the site appeared.

I felt a bit of a charlie and put it down to a fluke. However, yesterday, the same thing happened again, I was able to access any website except my own. This was with the same manual proxy specified. So I changed it again, and the problem was fixed.

Tonight it's happened twice more, and I've had to change proxies twice more. On each occasion, if I revert to one of the previously-used proxies, the problem is still there. This defies all logic...how can only one site be affected like this? And sooner or later I am going to run out of proxies.

Does anyone have the foggiest idea what might be going on? I'm 2mb SACM Bromley by the way.
