    I am wondering if the DMOZ CGI is broken? I have been trying to add a site but this error keeps coming up for me when I submit the site, anybody else get this type of problem.

    :confused:
    ------------------------------------

    The requested URL could not be retrieved


    While trying to retrieve the URL: http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi
    The following error was encountered:
    Unable to determine IP address from host name for dmoz.org ​
    The dnsserver returned:
    No DNS records ​
    This means that: The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct.
    Your cache administrator is .

    I get that occasionally, usually refreshing it will force it to go through. It maybe just a glitch in the communications between servers, but I am by no means a technology expert. :p Refreshing a time or two usually gets it through though.
