Interesting background information! ;)

But "doesn't resolve" means that the dns system doesn't know how
to resolve the cco.ath.cx host name. Which means it doesn't exist
(anymore).
"ath.cx" Is one of the domains of dyndns, so I think Mike had a
free account there. Which ceased to exist when they abolished free
accounts.

Bye, Wilfred.
