Here we go, I found the following notice in the Interland support center:
------------------
Service has been restored for customers using nameserve.net. Websites and
e-mail should both be functioning normally as of 11 am EST, March 19 2002.
Our engineers identified and fixed a problem with the way that DNS zones
were being compiled and transferred to secondary servers. The impact of this
problem was that DNS lookups were failing for all domain names hosted on
nameserve.net nameservers. No action is required by customers to resolve
these issues.
DNS Services Down
All customer domains that use ns1.nameserve.net or ns2.nameserve.net for DNS
resolution are temporarily unavailable as of 7:00 am EST, March 19, 2002. We
are experiencing an interruption in service on these nameservers. Our
engineers are working diligently to restore these services as quickly as
possible. Until the DNS services are responding correctly, your website will
not display by domain name, but will pull up by IP addess. E-mail addressed
for your domain name will spool until DNS services are available.
-----------------------------
I am using these DNS servers for forward look-ups of our W2000 server.

Hi Loren,
our webserver (and also our pop-server) are located in Washington DC, so
it
is not so far from shopsite.com
But I think there was some heavy
network
traffic blocking the net partially, as I did encounter sequentially
webservers one by one not answering today for some 2-3 hrs period, whereas
other servers picked up http requests just well after being not reacheable
for some time during the day, even amazon.de was not reachable for some 40
min.

Niko,
The server is located on the opposite side of the world from you, which
probably
accounts for the slowness. I checked it out and it appears to be running
fine
(thankyou.cgi included). I'll pass the webmaster your tip
