No, the problem is that WWA's nameserver had (and may still have) old cache 
data.

Of course, if you called WWA and asked them to look into this, they could
have reloaded the nameserver and fixed it.

We have *not* blocked anyone from access to our web server.   In fact, its 
darn difficult to do the way our network is architected without seriously
impacting performance for everyone.

We are not responsible for nameserver caches on other systems, only on 
our own.  We've made a number of changes in the web server architecture, 
and this has involved moving the www.mcs.net address (twice in fact).

The proper course of action for other ISP customers who experience this kind
of thing is to contact *your ISPs* tech desk.  They can answer these
questions and take care of the problem.
