Hi Alan,
Do you have ipv6 enabled on your computer?
www.fx.net.nz is ipv6 enabled, and I suspect if the website is loading
slowly it may have to do with faulty v6 transit.
(ie, if you are accessing it over a tunnel going via the US or EU)
You could try www2.fx.net.nz which will go to the same place, but does not
have a v6 DNS record.
We haven't had any DoS attacks this evening that I'm aware of.

My apologies for this (my first) post. As a former Sys Admin, I retain an interest in this area for purely personal & academic reasons. After observing the post, I attempted to access http://www.fx.net.nz/ and it timed out. And is doing so again this evening. Your thoughts? All else is functioning fine.
