The reason that some people have still been able to access HOTU via its URL is almost certainly because their HTTP requests are going either implicitly or explicitly via a cache that their ISP runs.* Hence their browsers' requests are never actually trying to access the site itself.* Instead, their ISP is serving the old cached copy of the site.

Close, but no cigar: it's DNS caching, not HTTP caching. [/b][/quote]
Well I'm afraid that you have your cigar inserted in the wrong part of your anatomy.
DNS caching has nothing to do with this. Many ISPs, particularly the larger ones, maintain web page caches because caching of frequently accessed sites can help them to significantly reduce their page traffic from the Internet, thus saving them bandwidth and expense.
