CFR website refusing connections

The website for the Council on Foreign Relations, www.cfr.org<http://www.cfr.org>, has been refusing connections for most of the day today. Normally I'd chalk it up to random problems, but given the recent watering-hole attack against the site, I thought I'd mention it here and see if anyone had heard anything. -- Jim Goltz <jgoltz@mail.nih.gov> HHS/NIH/CIT/DCSS/HSB/ASIG

I just got to the home page fine (and it was actually really fast to load) from Milwaukee, Wi on TWTC. -Grant On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 12:23 PM, Goltz, Jim (NIH/CIT) [E] < jgoltz@mail.nih.gov> wrote:

Loads fine for me.

I've had several "looks OK" reports, so it's probably a problem local to me. I am seeing RST packets apparently from 75.101.137.229, but sometimes someone sets our firewalls to send those instead of silently dropping the traffic, so that could be it.
