Where is www.cpac.org? I just tried to go to their site and it's down.
Servers go up and down, just ask JimRob, but that's not what's happening here. Their DNS entry is gone.
Pardon my geek, but ping returns "Unknown Host" and Arin WhoIs shows no match. Likewise for "cpac.org"
This is suspicious to me, because highjacking someone's DNS entry is a common hacker attack, I believe it may have happened to FreeRepublic once.
Does anyone know what the IP address of www.cpac.org is?
I hope they didn't turn the Domain Name System over to the UN.
That would suggest that they may have been down three days.
It should have been fixed in that time.
I think they are down, they are registered through 2009.

But if there were just down, I would still be able to resolve www.cpac.org into a numeric ip, with ping, etc.
Interesting that it is registered to an email at conservative.org which is the American Conservative Union, whose web site is up.
