FYI Opendns was reporting "SERVFAIL" errors on NS1.LASERPOINTERFORUMS.COM and NS2.LASERPOINTERFORUMS.COM during the outage today...So I guess the nameservers just weren't resolving for whatever reason...odd

I'm using openDNS as well so I got the same message. Seemed odd when it came back & resolved ok but failed again a little while later. Also tried a random DNS lookup from google http://www.zoneedit.com/lookup.html?host=laserpointerforums.com&type=A&server=&forward=Look+it+up, same failure.
If it returns I'll try it without openDNS.
