Looks like some sort DNS server problem since whiteblaze.net is also boned, likely they simply have lost connectivity, and it looks like they host both their primary and secondary dns servers, so no redundancy. I suspect they'll be back once someone unbreaks them.

SGT Rock's site at http://hikinghq.net/ has a hammock forum as well.

I lurk from time to time on both. but I prefer the crowd here, and besides we still do have
a dediated group of card carrying hammock mafia members here too..<wave>
