And appears to be down again now, for at least long enough for someone
to notice and post to nz.comp:

nz.comp #269232 (0 + 0 more)                                           [1]

Any reason why the Wellington Linux UG web site wouldn't work?

http://www.wellylug.org.nz/

I am trying to contact the guys. Anyone?

I'm getting no (eg, ICMP echo request or TCP/25) response from:

www.wellylug.org.nz has address 203.97.220.179

I'll post a followup to nz.comp saying that someone is looking into it
(since hopefully they will be!).
