The public web servers appear to be very congested or non-responsive; but because I can reach other systems (mail, dns, etc) I suspect people are overloading the webservers.My DNS shows www.thosedomains to be in iana-reserved space and dns is hosted at european satellite base stations ??
That's pretty simple...They were allegated some adress space from their provider, which in this case would be the Satellite Feed Company in Europe/UK. That's why they've got European Adress Space.
And the only host i've found now, was: nic1.Baghdadlink.net A 62.145.94.1 inetnum: 62.145.94.0 - 62.145.95.255 netname: LB-Transtrum descr: Transtrum sal country: LB admin-c: SN3704-RIPE tech-c: SN3704-RIPE tech-c: JS3277-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PA notify: jsaade () transtrum com mnt-by: AS13126-MNT changed: darren.frowen () sms-internet net 20030225 source: RIPE ... and if you check the route to nic1. it seems as if they'r hosted in .iq 11 62.32.32.86 (62.32.32.86) 79.218 ms 78.814 ms 79.487 ms 12 * * * 13 62.145.94.1 (62.145.94.1) 639.456 ms 630.628 ms 627.752 ms Definitely looks like the other end of a satellite connection. I can't reach uruklink nor Iraq2000.com atm though. -- Johannes Catterwell, Darmstadt / Germany johannes at catterwell dot de To err is human, to forgive is just not my policy.
