Yeah, but you may want to change the way you code your
links. Looks like you're using fully qualified links.
In otherwords, you're including the full path
(http://www.domain/page) This causes problems when you
go to the site via IP because the DNS server is down.
Now every link will fail. You should just use virtual
links so that the browser will use whatever the user
used to get to your site in the first place.
Just a little tip to make the site a bit more server
friendly.

=====
In 1913, Lee De Forest was prosecuted by U.S. government officials
for claiming to potential investors that his company, RCA, would soon be
able to transmit the human voice over the Atlantic Ocean. The
prosecuting officials argued that his claim was so utterly ridiculous
that he was surely ripping off investors. He was ultimately released
but not before being admonished by the judge to stop making any more
fraudulent claims.
