Description
My issue relates to boost.org's usage of easydns its nameserver. Unfortunately, some people are now blocking that dns server and leaving the website inaccessible. This is turning out to be rather big issue.

Note, that the way DNS works... People should not really be affected by Boost using a specific primary DNS. As they should be using their own DNS server to acquire the Boost addresses.

The entries are not being propagated and we are unable to modify the functionality of our DNS servers (static entries are unavailable). We've tried getting to boost by IP, but it looks like your on a shared server that requires the hostname be sent. I have tried different variations the IP address such as http://129.79.245.252/~boost/ etc to see if there is an alternate method of reaching the site, but haven't found one.

So sorry about this. I'm complete idiot. I just rechecked and apparently we were having some issues on our side of things causing the trouble.

Giving this to Beman as he controls the DNS, IIRC.
