Description John C Klensin 2007-03-05 18:40:04 UTC 
As of circa 2007.03.05 18:18 UT, the DNS name security.freebsd.org, associated with all security advisories listed on the web site, was a CNAME pointing to  bsd3.celabo.org.  There is no entry in the zone for celabo.org for "bsd3" (checks have been made with the authoritative servers: this is probably not a synchronization/refresh problem but a disappearing entry.

Fix: 

Correct DNS entry to point to a valid host has the correct databases and HTTP server.
How-To-Repeat: Either: (1) Reference http://security.freebsd.org/ with some tail, e.g., as http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-07:02.bind.asc

Or (2) Use "dig" or equivalent to verify the CNAME data for security.freebsd.org. and then to attempt to find the target of that CNAME, bsd3.celabo.org.
