Look at some web stats, I saw a traffic drop over the weekend on a few  
sites.  Looking into it, I am stumped.

Here are a few named log snips:

What I have no idea, is why they are being denied?

I do get nothing back:

The domain appears to still be registered as far as I can tell, there  
is a secondary that should pick up this as well.

I do not know much about trace, but I get a bad referral error, is  
this at my seconary provider?  What do I tell them?
