Damn DNS hasn't updated yet! Everyone is telling me how wonderful this site is and I haven't been able to see it yet!

it'll be back soon

Due to overwhelming support for welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com. We will be bringing it back on a brand new web server that will be dedicated to the task of serving this comical view of history's funniest straight man. This should be up in 24 hours from now.



Note: from the webmaster
The site was so popular that 4000 visitors per second showed up from around the world and overwhelmed this shared server for over 8 hours until we turned it off in self defense. It basically put a 100 other businesses out of business for a day. If we had known it was going to be this popular we would have put it on it's own server from the beginning.

What started out as a private joke to be shared by a small group of friends has turned into a hit. Check back in 24 hours or so while the internet routers figure out where the new web server is that replaces this old one. The site consists of lots of bandwidth hogging pictures and animations that you'll love once you see it on its new home server.


is this what you're seeing, marria0?

They have changed the server that it is hosted on. The old server just carries the "we're moving" message.

The reason that some people can see it and other can't is simply because the changes to the DNS entry for the server haven't propogated everywhere yet. It takes a day or more for this to happen normally. Some people are being sent to the IP address for the new server, the rest are going to the old one.

My DNS server was also taking me to the old site, I did some manual DNS queries to walk from the root servers to the new server details to get the IP address that I posted. The IP address should work equally well for everyone, until the DNS entries catch up.

They still seem to be too popular, I got straight on to the address you posted, Sunday AM, but I've had no luck since, I just get a test page.
