This time however, the caching (dns)-proxy on my laptop was still caching the ip-adress, just squid (on my server) could not resolve the hostname. So I have configured firefox to not use the http-proxy for everydaysystems.com .
When the proxy server stops caching the record, I will simply put it in my /etc/hosts - I wrote the ip adress down this time
Still, this is probably not a solution for the general population - for once, if/when the ip-address changes, they 'd have to remember to remove their hosts entry.
Would it be possible to move away from using porkloin.net for dns service? One alternative would be zoneedit.com - I never used them myself because I have not had to, but I think the squeak guys use them for dns resolution.
