[UCIMC-Tech] books2prisoners.org domain name problem at the IMC only

Hi Jay,

The entire DNS and firewall system has actually since been completely
recreated, and doesn't employ the same kind of system. Our internal DNS
system now only comes into play for domains that we host. At least when
connected to one of the servers at the IMC from home, I can reach
www.books2prisoners.org just fine now. Which computer were you using,
and were you able to access other websites besides books2prisoners.org?
Let me know and I'll hopefully be able to take a look soon. Thanks!
