Are these adresses up to date. The addresses for iiug.org are correct. They actually point to the same system, whose IP number is 128.117.71.100. DNS does fail on rare occasion, so it's handy to make a note of the IP number. Having said that, I should also note that the primary NS for the iiug.org domain is also that same system, operating under a different host-ID. If you can't get name service, it's unlikely that you'd be able to get to the system anyway. This is not *always* the case, so try the above raw IP number next time you have problems reaching the iiug.org domain by name.
