I have discovered the circumstances under which I was/am unable to reach www.bigpond.com
Those sites from which I am unable to reach BP are all running Squid proxy caches, some just as caches with no parent and others with BPD proxy cache as a parent. If I knock off Squid, stop the internal transparent redirect and go out direct then it all works. So, WTF gives? -- Howard.
