I'm catching up on all this -- let me know if you still want the info...

did the IP address change?

And yes - RPZ's can kind-of fix this.

RPZ's can redirect to an IP or redirect to another hostname.

I used the "A" record which uses an IP... but if there's an official hostname now, I'd prefer to use that so  it tracks automatically.

(hence, why DNS is better than hard coded IP addresses.)

Let me know Bill (and others),
