I'm going to do some research on name servers as its been a long time since I studied them. At work this afternoon www.boost.org still ends up at 209 but at home its fine. This afternoon I was querying the easydns name server using a tool on the web and it points to vhost.sourceforge.net(209) for www.boost.org and 66.35.250.210 for boost.org John Maddock wrote:

Well, here are some clues about the problem.
First problem is in the dns configuration, boost.org and www.boost.org have different A records. Boost.org resolves to 66.35.250.209 and www.boost.org resolves to 66.35.250.210, that's wrong, boost.org should be the A record and www.boost.org should be an alias to the A record, there shouldn't be two different ip's. What this is going to give you is that depending where you're at and the mood of the NS you might get sent to 209 or 210, 209 generates an error message.
You're right: I updated www.boost.org, but not boost.org (as that was apparently working at the time). They're both now pointing to where SF says they should point (66.35.250.210), so hopefully this issue will resolve itself!
Many thanks for the diagnosis, John.
Second problem is when I look up the registration for boost.org it lists ns1.easydns.com as the primary NS however if I query that server directly it has no record of either url's so the NS can't resolve the discrepancy there either. This record needs to be updated to reflect the true primary name server.
Hope this helps, Matt

The error page I got gave the time at which I typed the URL (different because of time zone) so its not a browser refresh problem, maybe your browser didn't have a fresh copy. Anyhow its fixed now but it was down earlier.

www.boost.org is still giving an error message, so whatever john maddock did last time, can he do it again. Also we need to find out what un-fixed it! It's working for me. Maybe try refreshing your browser?
