Hi igba !
Here is a proxy service that is working :
http://proxy.dot-bit.org/
I've planned to work on the namecoin-bundle (native .bit support the simpliest way) soon, so, stay tuned if you're interested :p

Do you mean a portable version like the TOR bundle? That would be cool Also we can later on add onion support.

Glad to see you still interested :p
Remember that a single man is not sufficient, so any help is appreciated :p
Here is what needs to be done :
- namecoin bundle : easy support for .bit (mini GUI/systray to show nmc-control status [python ?] + proxy with nmc-control [python] + namecoind integrated)
- namecoin rules update : bigger records, revised fees
- bitcoin rebase : use latest bitcoin code, or another lib
- some GUIs to register domains, id, etc
Remember that a single man is not sufficient, so any help is appreciated :p
..and the whole Namecoin world rejoices!

Here is the result of ciyam.bit for each dns server :
It seems some servers need to be updated...
Code:
for ip in $(echo 178.32.31.41 216.231.140.69 78.47.86.43 199.19.215.104); do echo "* Server : $ip"; host ciyam.bit $ip|grep ciyam.bit; echo ""; done
* Server : 178.32.31.41
ciyam.bit has address 178.32.31.42
ciyam.bit mail is handled by 5 srv03.web-sweet-web.net.
* Server : 216.231.140.69
Host ciyam.bit not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
* Server : 78.47.86.43
Host ciyam.bit not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
* Server : 199.19.215.104
Host ciyam.bit not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Actually bx.bit works fine for me now - but still no ciyam.bit. 
March 11, 2012, 02:42:16 PM
I am using Windows XP (sp 3) and when I try nslookup bx.bit I get 178.248.244.15 (if I use curl with the name I get a permanently moved message but if I curl the raw IP I get http://sv05.net-housting.de as a href).
all this is just fine. and "ping bx.bit" still does not work? hmmm

try:
nslookup gee.bit.namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org
this will look up gee.bit with suffix added directly on your default dns
nslookup gee.bit.namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org
this will look up gee.bit with suffix added directly on your default dns
Thanks - this does work (I already use 8.8.8.8 for my DNS lookup) - but how do I get this to work through a browser?
After you have installed the .reg file try:
nslookup bx.bit
If this gives you an ip address it means that the suffix is installed and you are getting close.
note: nslookup does dns resolution in a different way than the os
If ping bx.bit still does not work it means your os is not using the suffix properly for "everyday" lookups.
It might be necessary to deactivate/activate your internet connection or even do a reboot.
also this might help: ipconfig /flushdns (clears the dns cache, does not hurt)
What OS are you on? I assume you did use the .reg file from here: http://dot-bit.org/How_To_Install_Dns_Suffix ?

I tried the .reg file but zero luck (I guess this maybe because I am in China).
I also got someone in Australia to try the Posix method on a box running OpenSUSE but it also will not resolve any .bit addresses.
They also just tried pinging namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org but got an "unknown host namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org" error.
try:
nslookup gee.bit.namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org

nslookup gee.bit.namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org 8.8.8.8
this will look up gee.bit with suffix added directly on the google dns.
if these won't work and you can not find another dns that works the suffix method might not work for you.

I confirm you there is no dns redirector on my dns server (the french one).

some sneaky bastard has it setup within those two dns servers to resolve all unresolvable .bit domains to fma.com

could it be that your sneaky bastard internet provider is intercepting your dns lookups?
For me the servers answer with "non-existing domain" just as expected.
that very well could be, I did not look far into it, just assumed it was coming from the DNS servers because I know its easy to fake requests like this
this is a dedicated server at a datacenter in the UK but it still does not surprise me

i dont have time to look right now but if I remember correctly we are using the french and german dns servers to resolve .bit domains
some sneaky bastard has it setup within those two dns servers to resolve all unresolvable .bit domains to fma.com
go ahead and test it you can type whatever.bit and if its not a real website it will go to fma.bit
I plan on launching my own namedtobind .bit nameserver soon and that should remedy this kind of dns trickery (at least with bitviewer) and anyone that uses my nameserver for lookups - hopefully I will find the time this weekend to make that happen
thanks!
