Vorbis dev - Mar 2002 - www.vorbis.com still down, httpd.conf bug?

I can access "http://vorbis.com/" but not http://www.vorbis.com/. This
means
that many existing links on the web are broken.

I have been told that this is because the IP address changed and that the
change has not propagated across the net to my DNS. But the fact that I have
been able to access "http://vorbis.com/" tells me that the change has
actually propagated to my DNS. So waiting patiently may not fix this
problem.

It is possible that this problem is because the VirtualHost entry was not
configured correctly in the Apache "httpd.conf" file. Here is an
example of
what it should look like.

<VirtualHost {server.IP.address}>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/vorbis"
ServerName www.vorbis.com
ServerAlias vorbis.com
</VirtualHost>

It's also possible that the DNS record at the registrar was not setup
correctly.

We're competent sysadmins here as well, but I double checked anyway.
All the virtualhost stuff works correctly.  And the fact that *I* get
www.vorbis.com (and others too) seems to disprove that theory anyway.

Do a host www.vorbis.com, and I bet you still get 207.181.249.5 instead
of the new ip even though host vorbis.com will get you the new ip.  It's
likely that your upstream provider has cached the record and is ignoring
the TTL or ignoring the secondary name server or both.

Reverse dns isn't set up yet, but I don't see why that would be the
problem for one name and not the other.

I'll find out what status is on reverse dns.
