Can anyone with a host in the IP range of 64.0.0.0/8 confirm if they can connect to the www.securityfocus.com or mail.securityfocus.com ? (i.e. the bugtraq people).

It seems to be fixed for me now as well. A couple of Symantec people contacted me off line. Perhaps they can shed further light on what was up. ---Mike At 12:15 AM 14/09/2002 -0400, Scott Gifford wrote:

I can't confirm from actual SF personnel conversations, BUT apparently its not unheard of for SF to pull up the drawbridge in times of 'trouble'. Apparently in the past they have done this before especially bad 'trouble' has been released :( Or they could have some network problem :)

or, they might be moving. www.securityfocus.com resolves to different IP addresses, depending on whom you ask:
www.securityfocus.com. Server: ns1.symantec.com Address: 198.6.49.5
Name: www.securityfocus.com Address: 66.38.151.10
www.securityfocus.com. Server: ns2.securityfocus.com Address: 205.206.231.18
Name: www.securityfocus.com Address: 205.206.231.10 using the 205.206.231.10 address, you get Trying 205.206.231.10... Connected to www.securityfocus.com. Escape character is '^]'.
