In spite of typo's in their DNS records, Al Jazeera's web site has moved
to France and back online. Be sure you get the current IP address for
aljazeera.net (213.30.180.219).
Al Jazeera's name server records are still a mess, and I don't think
you can really blame the Pentagon for them
aljazeera.net. 15M IN SOA ns3.aljazeera.net.
dnsadmin.nav-link.net. (
2003032802 ; serial
3H ; refresh
1H ; retry
1W ; expiry
15M ) ; minimum
aljazeera.net. 15M IN NS ns1sa.navlink.com.
aljazeera.net. 15M IN NS ns3.aljazeera.net.
aljazeera.net. 15M IN MX 10 mail.aljazeera.net.
aljazeera.net. 15M IN A 213.30.180.219
The NS record for ns1sa.navlink.com appears to be a typo, no such server
exists. I suspect the correct NS is ns1sa.nav-link.net (217.26.192.26),
which is not responding or the NS in the NSI registery aljns1sa.nav-link.net
(217.26.193.15) which also isn't responding.
