404s are returned by the web server, if you ask for a page that it doesn't think exists.
The page you get if the domain doesn't exist is dependent on the browser. Opera will tell me there's a network problem. I'm not sure what message you get if the domain exists but doesn't have a web server at that port.

Oh. Of course. Don't know what I was thinking there.
Is every page request on the server logged? If so, and if you knew the time the error occured and the IP address of the user, could you look at the log to find out exactly what the browser was asking for?
My guess is that this isn't the problem--that the browser requests that result in a 404 are in fact correct, but if it's easy to do then we could rule out client-side wonkiness.
hey - how was that testing stuff going? did we hit a block?
I just have a few little things to change. Then I need software to load-test the server (which I can do myself once I have the software).
But I'm in now-- I guess it was just a blip at my end, or in the big wide internet somewhere.
I had problems connecting to the site too. It was like that for at least an hour or so. It was not just this site ether. Its working now though.
This is really minor, but can we put a space or something in "donations@ buffistas.org" where ever it is on the site? It's not a mailto: link or anything is it? Just because most of the spam I get is from that address.
It is a mailto, and most spiders will grab the mailto instead of/as well as what's displayed.
Oh, OK then. It's nice to be able to just click through. I can deal.
