heh, that's what happens when you use microsoft IIS:

daveb@malchick c/libloc-445>telnet www.vanagon.com 80
Trying 209.220.56.157...
Connected to www.vanagon.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

.....

The guy probably just changed the root index.html file - the
syncros page loads fine. And I would guess s/he might even
have made a backup copy.
