Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about what you just wrote and
I agree, it would be a headache. I have, however, tried to reach
someone at Adobe via email. With their feedback forms and Flash
Player help forms, 5 times already with no response. Do you know of
a more direct way to get their attention?

i think setting up your own proxy for express install would be way
more trouble than it's worth...
you'd have to have every plugin version and do platform sniffing and
return the correct plugin for each platform.. then when adobe updates
the Flash player, you'll have to update all your stuff... it wouldn't
be very much fun.
it sounds to me like the DNS hasn't propagated across to some of your
DNS servers yet.
so as a temporary fix, you could try replacing the
fpdownload.macromedia.com in the express install code with the ip
address of the server (make sure you get the ip address from a
computer that the install works on)
i don't recommend this as a permanent fix, but it might work until
adobe takes care of their DNS issues.
you should also try e-mailing someone over there - the flash
developer relations person (i'm not sure who that is anymore) and see
if they have any insight into the problem.

Adobe still hasn't fixed the problem (it seems to be coming from
them anyway) which is preventing me and others from other parts of
the country (and world) from being able to download the Flash
Player using the express install feature (or simply trying to
download it direct from their site). However, when I use our
remote server to get it, not from my own personal broadband
connection, there is no problem. Does anyone (Geoff Stearns,
perhaps?) know how I could rig up the express install code to use
our server as a proxy?
