What does reporting a 404 to nanog do?  The network to them is UP.  Since
the front page is up and actually has a address for reporting web problems
I would expect that you would report the problem there (I've cc'd the
address).

If the front page wasn't up you should do a whois lookup and use those
contact details except this a .gov domain where whois is a farce.  So
you also need to contact your federal representative and complain about
that.

Nist can put contact details on their web page:

Public Inquiries Unit
NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 1070, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-1070
Email: inquiries () nist gov
Phone: (301) 975-NIST (6478) or Federal Relay Service (800) 877-8339 (TTY)

But the whois give this farcical response:

% DOTGOV WHOIS Server ready
   Domain Name: NIST.GOV
   Status: ACTIVE

Please be advised that this whois server only contains information pertaining
to the .GOV domain. For information for other domains please use the whois
server at RS.INTERNIC.NET.
