After a bit of investigating, it appears that the bind/named server
that I have here might be the cause of my problems reaching the Wiki.
I'm not sure how to resolve this problem, though (sorry).

Here's my setup:

192.168.1.0/24--[router2 with named]--192.168.0.0/24--[router1]--{Internet}

If I ping www.thinkwiki.org from a machine on 192.168.1.0/24, I get a
Host Not Found error. If I ping from a machine on 192.168.0.0/24, I
get 213.133.100.79. In either case, if I visit http://213.133.100.79/
in a browser, I get a message that says "Maintenance. Please wait.."

Sooo. thinkwiki.org is actually a virtual domain name? I'm nearly
certain that this couldn't have anything to do with it or I would have
noticed lots of other sites not working.

I've been using this setup for a long time but I have to admit that
I'm not that sure about what is the Right Way to run bind. I installed
it, and it worked, and I never thought about it again.

Does anyone know what might be so different about the ThinkWiki.org
server or network that would make it potentially unreachable in
certain setups?

Thanks.
