The problem is the domain *did* expire. It was expired for about 6
hours. I of course renewed it, which is reflective in the whois record.
However, for some reason the .Org and/or Discount Domain Registry
haven't released the client hold, although the did update the
expiration. There is nothing I can do until morning at which time I will
call them.

I will note that there were other oddities happening when this all went
down. Jan and I both noticed that .info and .org were not returning
whois records for a time. Don't know if it is related but who knows.

Anyway and interim fix for people is to use 207.173.203.146 in their
hosts file for www.pgbuildfarm.org.
