    Everytime I click on forum links, I get redirected to count.digitalpoint.com, and I am left with a counter only.

    After looking at dns stuff I finally got to login again at deepdish.digitalpoint.com ....

    I'm gettting the same (12456]). forums.digitalpoint.com gets CNAME'ed to count.digitalpoint.com, which has TTL value of 24 hours, but when this record expires, my DNS server gets the same (wrong) IP address from somewhere. I'm not sure where it's coming from - I checked all three DP's DNS servers and they all return the correct A record. I ended up accessing DP by IP address (fortunately it's not virtually-hosted). The only problem is when you click on the some links, they end up at couner.digitalpoint.com.

    I checked this end and it's not coming from our servers. Only thing can I think of is maybe your upstream name servers are caching entries longer than they are supposed to. Or maybe your local computer has it cached for some reason.

    I did check all three DP servers and they seem to be working properly. It's not the local machine either - I have checked that. I'm sure it's some server in-between, but didn't have time to check them all :)

    SANS was reporting DNS cache poisonings way back Mar 4, I don't know if this is still in effect anywhere. It's possibly indirectly related.
