I posted to <rescue at sunhelp.org> and saw my
message got stuck in the mail
queue. Upon a further inspection I saw that the domain has expired along
with `mrbill.net' where the nameservers used to reside and both have been
taken by someone else, taking the name service down for `sunhelp.org'. I
can still reach Bill Bradford's personal page when I connect to the server
by its IPv4 address at: <http://184.94.207.190/>.
I noticed this, too. Since sunhelp.org uses mrbill.net DNS servers, and
because the server at 184.94.207.190 is still up, we can still see the
content if we make our own DNS, so I configured my server at 192.80.49.4
(athena.zia.io) to answer for mrbill.net, for sunhelp.org, for
fiftieshouse.com, and for lispmachine.net, so if you want to see any of
these, temporarily set your DNS server to 192.80.49.4.
I did this in part to mirror sunhelp.org, but I suspect there are already
mirrors out there.
Sorry to hear about Bill :(

Well, I'm happy to host any of Bill's content forever.
If you visit the sites as they are, you'll see content based on the
current owners of mrbill.net, lispmachine.net, fiftieshouse.com...
sunhelp.org doesn't resolve because it uses mrbill.net DNS servers,
and no DNS servers are configured by the new owners of mrbill.net.
If you use 192.80.49.4 as your only DNS server, then try to visit any of
those domains, you'll get answers for any / all of them that point to
Bill's old address (184.94.207.190). When you visit one of those domains
using this DNS server, the server at 184.94.207.190 will recognize the
virtualhosts and will provide the proper content.
