This starting happening last night. Thought the server was just getting hammered from phish's set...but it hasn't come up yet. According to:
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/phish.net ...the site is up.
Looks like I am able to make it part of the way there when using
www.phish.net . Also I can get all the way there if I enter the ip address. If I use
http://198.58.123.117 I get a login pop up. If I use
https://198.58.123.117 I can get the site to come up (without the css so it's pretty ugly) but it's useless after that because the links all use phish.net/xxxxx as the address.
Any idea what the problem might be? Seems strange that I get nothing with the URL, but I can reach the IP (but only really by https).
It looks like when I use phish.net I get stuck at a networklayer.com which appears to be owned by Softlayer which is owned by IBM. Could it be a problem with one of their routers? 66.228.118.182 appears to be the culprit with phish.net...but it doesn't seem to go through that IP when I use phish.net's IP address.
The other thing I noticed is when I enter tracert phish.net it shows 75.126.168.185 as the IP (which I'm assuming is what the nameserver I hit returns). Could that be a problem?
I should know more about this since I work in telecom...but I don't really do a lot of IP related work (pretty much only helping customers with my minimal knowledge).
