Tony, It either you name server isn't working or you routing to cirrus is bad. The first one can be determined by ping command to cirrus. If it fails maybe cirrus needs to be entered into your /etc/hosts file. I would also contact you system admin or ISP concerning routing to cirrus, try a traceroute to cirrus. Sometimes routings are changed and it;s not apparent to network folks that they broke something. This happens at UCAR all the time. If you keep notifying them about the problem they will make sure they don't break your route to a host. It good to be in close contact with your system admin and the network folks.
