I tried to use a link posted to me by Cisco for some GPL source they deposited at
www.filehosting.comI have had intermittent trouble getting to this site all evening.
The DNS at Plusnet fails to resolve

but my browser isn't failing over to use OpenDNS, even though the Plusnet DNS seems to be returning an error code (SERVFAIL)
Is this the right error code ? And why isn't the IP in the Plusnet DNS in the first place ?
