I'm going to do some research on name servers as its been a long time 
since I studied them. At work this afternoon www.boost.org still ends up 
at 209 but at home its fine. This afternoon I was querying the easydns 
name server using a tool on the web and it points to 
vhost.sourceforge.net(209) for www.boost.org and 66.35.250.210 for boost.org
