It worked last week... let me check it now...

[C:\]nslookup www.watcom.on.ca

I just tried it.  Although it does seem agonizingly slow for some reason,
it is definitely there and working.  Maybe they made some sort of
configuration change which would account for the awful performance.  They
are still running on BSD Unix, and have not switched over to NT or
anything.
