Hi Arnout, thanks for trying to help. Here is my screen:

me:~$ host -v -t SOA git.buildroot.net
Trying "git.buildroot.net"

Received 148 bytes from 192.168.3.31#53 in 93 ms

I don't see anything obviously weird, but the link
(http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2012.02_rc3)
still does not work.

Wait, I just tried git and it now will fetch, and now I tried that
link again and it works now. So either magic happened or someone,
somewhere in DNS land fixed it.

So for me, for now, from work this is fixed!

Thanks, Steve
