Thank you all for your swift diagnoses of problems at my end :-)

If I went to 64.34.165.250, one of the two IP addresses for the name
"freeradius.org", I got "500 service temporarily unavailable",
apparently due to "maintenance downtime or capacity problems". I get the
same message if I go to leia.telante.com. the canonical name of that
address.

The other IP address for the name "freeradius.org", 88.191.76.12,
responded instantly, with a page from someone called Network RADIUS,
Inc. The canonical name for the address, liberty.deployingradius.com,
returned a page too. Attempts to go to the *name* "freeradius.org"
always failed (timeouts).

All of this was - and is! - completely repeatable.

Oddly enough, when I force freeradius.org to be 64.34.165.250 using my
local /etc/hosts file, everything works. No idea why.

Regards, K.
