[aprssig] who forgot to renew aprs-is.net?

[Kenneth Finnegan]

This doesn't look like any kind of DNS attack.

www.ametx.com and aprs-is.net are both hosted on the same web server, so it
looks like there's some problems happening on the hosting side as far as
the web server serving the wrong virtual host domain to clients.
