The reason for this is that I have moved the domain name to a new
registrar because of billing problems with the old one, and yesterday
the new registrar activated DNS for fenicsproject.org. I've been in
contact with them and they claim everything is configured correctly
and it seems to be as far as I can tell.

What I think is the problem right now is that the old registrar is
still sending out DNS information which is confusing the DNS system.
I've asked them to stop.

I've used nslookup to try to diagnose the problem and here's the
current results using different combinations of DNS servers and addresses:

Old DNS (bahnhof):

                        ns1.bahnhof.net   ns2.bahnhof.net
--------------------------------------------------------------------
fenicsproject.org       REFUSED           WORKS
www.fenicsproject.org   REFUSED           WORKS
fenicsproject.com       REFUSED           NO ANSWER
www.fenicsproject.com   REFUSED           NO ANSWER

New DNS (nameisp):

                        ns1.nameisp.info  ns2.nameisp.info
--------------------------------------------------------------------
fenicsproject.org       NO ANSWER         NO ANSWER
www.fenicsproject.org   WORKS             WORKS
fenicsproject.com       NO ANSWER         NO ANSWER
www.fenicsproject.com   WORKS             WORKS

Anyone knows this stuff, please help me out diagnosing the problems or
confirm the above, using nslookup or some other tool. Here's a short
list of instructions:

$ nslookup
> server ns1.nameisp.info
> www.fenicsproject.org

etc.

I'm very sorry for the bad timing...

In the meantime, just use the IP address:

    http://128.39.36.31

Then click 'www.fenicsproject.org'.
