True - the NWS redirects to the two domains that are the problems,
although I just keep them in bookmarks. They are in the process of
redoing their sites, but much of the actual 'data' is still in the
same places.

Seems to have been a Comcast DNS problem - switching DNS servers
immediately solved the problem, and going back to Comcast reintroduced
the problem. I can now go to all the previously 'bad' sites.

But - I still have not found a way to get privoxy to 'forget' the bad
DNS, [if that's what it's doing]. Even though it's not supposed to be
a caching proxy, it does seem to introduce DNS-like problems. Restart
does not seem to help.

Thanks for the reply,
