My proxy had stale cache data as shown in the last post and that is why I was seeing what appeared to be an active site. I should have explained better in that post rather than assume everyone knows what squid logs show us. The stats site web server is down but clamav.net DNS is providing the IP to what is now a ghost server somewhere in Germany that responds to a ping. That's a bad idea because that IP could be repurposed in alarming ways. The clamav.net NS records need to be updated to reflect the current configuration - that is to say stats.clamav.net along with the www cname should be dropped or repointed to a Sourcefire web server page that explains the situation. That's why I say the DNS is wonky.

I remember it uses Open ID as authenthcation.

But this host is not listening port 80 or 443 as shown above.
