Whilst I cannot do an NS lookup on gw.au, a traceroute shows

16  Ethernet0.pad5.Sydney.telstra.net (139.130.249.70)  394 ms  392 ms  378 ms
17  healey.gw.au (139.130.2.154)  394 ms  407 ms  399 ms
18  sydney.healey.com.au (203.10.124.2)  409 ms  419 ms  432 ms

This was traced from the US, and we have no reference to any gw.au in
/etc/hosts.

Was it only shutdown recently and the US is still caching it?

Regards,
Antony.
