Doesn't for me:

 # traceroute -n -T -p 80 66.35.250.210
...
 9  129.250.66.82  200.882 ms 206.28.99.201  208.714 ms 129.250.66.82  200.994 ms

and gets no further.

Also, isitdownrightnow.com's behaviour has changed since my last email,
it's doing the opposite now and stripping www off the domain and only
checking icewm.org and claiming that's down, it won't check
www.icewm.org anymore (which is 216.34.181.97, which is up for me).
