No changes regarding balug.org DNS that I'm aware of ... at least that
are or would be problematic.

There's also handy-dandy non-authoritative DNS cheat sheet for
BALUG.ORG. at:
http://www.balug.org/dns
The full details of all of BALUG.ORG.'s various DNS bits get a fair bit
messier to look at ... hence there's also the short cheat sheet version
(quite high-level stuff only)

208.113.160.236 is just another VIP apparently on the same host as
208.97.167.22, with 208.113.160.236 serving up
http://www.balug.org/
and
http://balug.org/
and apparently/presumably, 208.97.167.22 being IP correlating to the actual
host's canonical name.  Both IPs apparently serve ssh on the same host.
