Just in case anyone finds the info useful I'd recommend the following host
file for users to use as it comes directly from the developers/operators of
the 2 replacement cache servers runningat present:

http://205.238.40.1/hosts/

This hosts file splits the load across both cache servers (running at 2
different locations) which should allow for some redundancy should either
one of the caches be unavaliable.

I'll post the contents here also (hope it doesn't wrap badly or something):

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

# WinMX Missing DNS fix to make it work $Revision 2.00$
# This well change over time and hopefully some day be
