For the folks who wondered.
===========
Somehow Melbourne IT wiped our DNS record perhaps sometime last night.:( They are still closed at the moment. Rang their US agent for after hour service and got an answsering machine (what is the point?)

In the meantime, people could try www.eyo.net.au or www.eyotechnologies.com

Update:

Finally got through on the phone to Melbourne IT (the authourity for com.au domains). They confirmed one of the server related to com.au domains is having problem. They are still trying to fix it at the moment. I found iprimus.com.au was "de-registered" too this morning. Luckily eyo.com.au domain seems have been delegated again after a re-delegation request

DNS server fetches a new DNS record when the old record expires. Some DNS servers did not need to refresh when our DNS record was wiped. The ones you use were one of that. There are other DNS servers which do not honour TTL (Time To Live) settings (bad). Those servers also kept us visible yesterday.
