But possibly not (the IPV6 address not pointing at the same system that is). It'll take me a while to check out because this hostname (isbd.biz) has had a rather troubled history. When I tried to move it away from TsoHost I had lots of trouble because it's a 'premium' name. I finally got it hosted at spaceship.com. However it looks as if the IPV6 address may still point at a Mythic Beasts system because I did try and move the domain hosting there and it sort of half worked before they said they couldn't handle the 'premium' name. I'll go and sort it out. > Have you noticed how some OPs answer to people who suggest stupid things > at random that only address half the symptoms exposed in the first > place, and never the to people who lead them into an investigative > process that will lead you to the solution with good probability? > > There is probably a psychology PhD to write on that. > > > But for me, when I traceroute > > to the IPv4 address it's about 5.6ms from me, whereas the IPv6 address is > > about 0.6ms from me. > Yes, likely because the IPV6 address appears to be a well connected server at Mythic Beasts whereas the IPV4 address goes to a very low powered VPS at FastHosts. > Are you sure of your numbers?
