I run my own DNS server that talks to OPENDNS, located in Saratoga, CA, USA. ISP 
is Comcast residential cable modem service.

I can access the above pico-systems link, and was able to follow around the 
webring with no issues, using Firefox on a PC in my internal net.

Basically see no problems accessing any of the pages on sites.

 From my server I see:

nslookup members.iinet.net.au
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53
