>Description:
In the top-right section of www.netbsd.org's home page there's a drop-down menu named WWW Mirrors.  Choosing the first item in that menu, viz. Australia, brings up a page (in Firefox) saying:

We can?t connect to the server at www.au.netbsd.org.


dig says there's a CNAME DNS record for that name, but the record it references doesn't exist:

% dig @ns1.exetel.com.au www.au.netbsd.org
