I am unable to resolve www.yahoo.com. Tracing DNS back from the root
servers shows that www.yahoo.com is a CNAME to www.wa1.b.yahoo.com and
there are no A records for that hostname.
Anyone have more details or a Yahoo contact? I'm unable to get to
their
webpage as it is :-)

but looking up the host itself gives no answer
