Met Office web site ... peculiar re-direction
 

I know this weekend that the web servers are being shunted about, but I
found this odd:

Anyone else getting this on trying to access the Met Office web site?

If I use www.metoffice.com, I get re-directed to:-

http://www.spacereg.com/df.html?www.metoffice.com

If I use the old address: ..

http://www.met-office.gov.uk/

its OK!

This is the advisory on the page to which you are redirected: Haven't
done item 2, have cleared cache etc. Looks like an NTL problem, as when
I connect via Demon, I have no problems.

" Check domain parking

It appears that the domain name www.metoffice.com is incorrectly being
redirected to our domain parking page. This is probably due to a fault
in the domain name resolution used by your computer. Causes could be:

* Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be experiencing a
technical fault with their DNS cache.
* You have installed an internet optimiser or accelerator that has
broken your computers DNS resolver."

Don't forget you can also access the site directly via the IP address
and thereby work around any temporary DNS problems. I'm showing the
metoffice site on:
