[Bf-committers] DNS down again...

[Trouble Daemon]

Those IP's are fine. Worth mentioning is that on windows you have to edit
the file:

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

However the file needs to be edited with an administrator account. In the
start menu you can find notepad and right click it, and then click "Run as
Administrator", then browse to the file above and add the IP's.

Out of convenience here is a list of the most common hosts:

82.94.213.213  builder.blender.org
82.94.213.217  svn.blender.org
82.94.213.218  wiki.blender.org
82.94.213.221  download.blender.org
82.94.226.99    cloud.blender.org
82.94.226.100  developer.blender.org
82.94.226.104  www.blender.org gooseberry.blender.org
82.94.226.105  git.blender.org

As nice as it is to have static entries for DNS in your hosts file though,
I _strongly_ advise you not to use them unless needed. Hosts entries have a
habit of making you oblivious to DNS problems, as well as causing headaches
for people trying to troubleshoot problems when we change the IP addresses
(although rare, it does happen without warning).
